EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Primary Industries Research and Development Act 1989
Fisheries Research and Development Corporation Regulations 1991
DETERMINATION OF THE STATE/TERRITORY FISHERIES GROSS VALUE OF PRODUCTION (GVP) FOR 2021–22
Under subsection 30A(2) and (3) of the Primary Industries Research and Development Act 1989, the amount paid to the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation from the Consolidated Revenue Fund shall be based on the Gross Value of Production (GVP) of that state or territory’s fishing industry.
Subsection 30A(5) of the Primary Industries Research and Development Act 1989 and 4E of the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation Regulations 1991 provides for the GVP of
each state and territory in a given year to be the average of the GVP for the relevant and the two preceding financial years. The authority to determine the state and territory GVP figures has
been delegated to the First Assistant Secretary of the AgVet Chemicals, Fisheries, Forestry and Engagement Division of the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment.
The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) has estimated, to the nearest thousand dollars, the GVP of the state and territory fishing industries in
the financial years 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22. These estimates (made on 3 June 2022) are:
| 2019–20 ($’000) | 2020–21 ($’000) | 2021-22 ($’000) |
New South Wales | 187,849 | 176,439 | 185,413 |
Victoria | 110,645 | 96,248 | 123,223 |
Queensland | 192,559 | 199,859 | 188,468 |
Western Australia | 473,105 | 426,179 | 373,515 |
South Australia | 429,369 | 371,652 | 360,536 |
Tasmania | 1,078,600 | 1,184,238 | 1,507,363 |
Northern Territory | 88,597 | 100,274 | 97,867 |
On the basis of the above calculation, the state and territory GVP figures for 2021-22 are determined to be:
