The South Australian Government

is committed to building productive

and resilient primary industries

and growing our regions to help

communities thrive.

We continue to focus on improving

regional infrastructure, building

further economic growth in our

sectors and the South Australian

economy, and creating jobs.

Growth State is our plan to

prioritise and guide the State

Government’s economic

development initiatives, and

support investment in the state.

It will ensure we have clear

priorities to back our industries and

regions, helping them to maximise

opportunities and address barriers

to productivity.

To achieve growth in these sectors,

this government has a number of

key initiatives underway, including

a $7.5 million red meat and wool

program to improve productivity

and help with technology adoption

and vital infrastructure, and support

the One Biosecurity program.

To protect the state’s agriculture

and horticulture industry we

will deliver a strong biosecurity

program, including eradication

activities to combat pests and

disease such as fruit fly, wild dogs,

Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome

and phylloxera. In the coming year,

we will undertake a once-in-a-

generation $25 million rebuild of

the Dog Fence, further the process

underway to modernise legislation

across the areas of pastoral land

management, fisheries, and

biosecurity and deliver consultation

on a Regional Development

Strategy to better plan future

economic opportunities in our

regions.

This will be supported by the

continued delivery of the $150

million Regional Growth Fund to

bolster South Australia’s regional

economy and support

job growth.

Greater commercialisation and

adoption of AgTech is also a main

focus area to drive our industries.

Many of our farmers have

experienced challenging seasons

and we have recognised this, and will

continue to work in partnership with

our industries to deliver programs

and assistance to those in need.

Through this work we are making

our primary industries and regions

more innovative, productive,

competitive and market-driven.

Hon Tim Whetstone MP Minister for Primary Industries

and Regional Development

PIRSA supports our primary

industries to grow and our regions

to thrive – this is our fundamental

purpose.

As Chief Executive of PIRSA,

I am consistently impressed with

the professional commitment and

expertise of PIRSA staff and the

dedication our people show in

their work with our industries and

communities.

With staff across the state, we

support our regions and their

primary producers by strengthening

links between industry and

government, undertaking core

primary industries research, and

ensuring effective monitoring

and compliance in biosecurity

and fisheries and aquaculture

management.

PIRSA’s Corporate Plan sets out

the key priorities for our agency,

how we will measure success, and

the important partnerships needed

to deliver our work.

To support the Minister in achieving

the Government’s commitments,

we will continue to work

collaboratively and diligently with

industry, business, academia and

regional organisations to achieve

growth in primary industries and

build prosperous and vibrant

regional communities.

Our workplan for the next year will

have the Growth State at its core -

featuring a wide range of programs

and initiatives to enable growth in

our agriculture industries across the

state’s regions. Our dedication and

commitment will see real change

and an increase in productivity for

our growers and agribusinesses.

We have a suite of impressive

onePIRSA collaborations

delivering outstanding results for

our sectors – and we will continue

to build on these.

Our emergency response and

preparedness activities remain a

top priority to protect our state from

pest and disease.

The Corporate Plan also outlines

our focus on being a high

performing economic development

agency, maintaining our reputation

for delivering quality services for our

customers, industry, government

and the community.

Our sound financial and risk

management and willingness to

reduce red tape and review our

frameworks and policies, within

and outside government, are key

strengths.

PIRSA’s work offers a true reflection

of our incorporation of the Public

Sector Values in everything we do.

We will continue to work closely

with industry to further build

our relationships and explore

new approaches, solutions and

opportunities.

I look forward to working together

as we keep up our focus and

unwavering commitment.

Our Staff Engagement

Two way communication is vital. Good internal communication and

engagement in PIRSA is key to achieving our business outcomes.

We give all PIRSA staff the opportunity to share

information, contribute to PIRSA thinking and

better understand our business direction. A

whole of PIRSA staff gathering will feature at

least annually – both face-to-face and through

electronic services.

The Regional Executive Visits Program allows

executives to meet face-to-face with regional staff

and stakeholders. It is expected that each PIRSA

Business Group will complement this structure

with its own structures and methods to ensure

effective communication and engagement.
