This is the third Five Year Research, Development and Extension (RD&E) Plan for the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation Tea Tree Oil Program. The first plan covered the period 1998-2003 and was used to guide the program up until August 2005. The second plan covered the period 2006-2011 and was replaced by this document in June 2013.
This plan builds on the previous plans with a focus on the areas of RD&E that are of greatest potential value to the tea tree oil industry. The plan was prepared in consultation with the RIRDC Tea Tree Oil RD&E Advisory Committee and the Australian Tea Tree Industry Association.
