    Conflict over land use - urban development or sugar farms? : occasional paper 01/99
    (Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 1999) Palu, L
    The Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC) funds research and development projects aimed at improving industry competitiveness. Urbanisation has been identified as a threat to the Australian sugar industry’s longterm sustainability. SRDC commissioned Agri-focus Pty Ltd to research ways of resolving urban/rural conflict. The researchers found that tackling negative perceptions about the sugar industry and positively positioning the industry at the local level can resolve damaging conflict. This Occasional Paper outlines methods of achieving this.

    Writing for results : a practical workshop
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 1991) Wrigley, J
    Our Writing for Results Workshop was designed as a follow-up to the workshop held in Mackay September 1991. In it we looked at the writing of project proposals in more detail and sharpened our skills in preparing informative, useful articles and news releases. The workshop included a review of the Sugar Research Council's Five Year Research and Development Plan, as well as the Evlanatoty Notes Relating to Applications for Grants from the Sugar Research and Development Corporation for 1991-1992.

    Evaluation of the impact of the Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC)
    (1993)
    This report presents the results of an evaluation of the impact of the SRC and the SRDC since the formation of the SRC in November 1987. The study was initiated by the SRDC in response to their commitment to undertake an independent review. The first part of the study included consultation with major industry bodies representing the sugar industry as well as the major R & D providers including the BSES and the SRI. The perceptions of the SRDC's performance by these bodies as well as facts concerning changes in funding and direction of R & D are reported. Opinion is expressed by the study team on the performance concerning the role, leadership, planning, funding and strengths and shortcomings of the SRDC, bearing in mind its short existence to date. A second part of the study was an examination of the impacts of 20 projects randomly selected from the portfolio of projects funded by the SRDC and its predecessor over the period 1988\89 to 1992\93.
