Decentralising agencies to boost regional employment and investment

Minister for Agriculture, Barnaby Joyce, today welcomed the start of the formal consultations with staff and stakeholders on the proposed relocations, including assessment of preferred locations. Australia's agricultural productivity is underpinned by hardworking communities from all corners of the nation, which is why the government would like these agencies to move closer to the industries they serve. Minister Joyce said the cost of relocations was an investment that would bring long term benefits to Australian rural industries and their communities by forging closer connections between research, regulation and industry.
