Written Submissions Environment Australia Part II Volume 2 Cane Toad Inquiry Report 125 In summary, over about a ten year period the total contracted funding provided by industry stakeholders, the Commonwealth and State/Territory Governments for RCD research was approximately $8 million. This amount does not include any in-kind contribution that may have been made, e.g. CSIRO estimated that from 1991 - 1995 their in-kind contribution to the program was $2.3 million. For cane toads, over about a ten year period the total contribution made mainly by the Commonwealth is approximately $4.7 million. Beginning in 1990 the Commonwealth provided $ 1.25 million over three years with some of the States contributing a further $90,000. In 1993 the Commonwealth provided an additional $2 million to the program that finished in December 1996. In 1996/1997, the first year of the Natural Heritage Trust, the Commonwealth provided $120,000 to fund the program to June 1997 to finalise some work not previously finished. Since 2000 the Commonwealth has provided approximately $1.5 million from the Natural Heritage Trust to support a new biological control program with CSIRO.
