DETERMINATION OF THE STATE/TERRITORY FISHERIES GROSS VALUE OF PRODUCTION (GVP) FOR 2014–15
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 Sustainability and Biosecurity Policy Division of the Department of Agriculture.
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 2012–13, 2013–14 and 2014–15. These estimates are:
