Income sources – five-year trend
Total income excluding resources received free of
charge decreased by three per cent ($65.7m in
2010/11; $67.5m in 2009/10) due mainly to a
reduction in appropriation funding from the State
Government.
Revenues from other sources come from
the commercial fishing industry through access
fees, recreational fishers, external funding for
research and management from the Commonwealth
Government, and ‘Other Income’ (which includes
interest from revenue). The amount of revenue
received from independent sources has increased
by five per cent ($33m in 2010/11; $31.5m in
2009/10).
Figure 5 presents an overview of the total
revenue received over the last five financial years
highlighting that, with the exception of fees paid
by recreational fishers, contributions from other
sources has remained constant in the past five
years.
Figure 6 shows how non appropriation funding
compared to total income received each year since
2006/07.
The increase in revenue from recreational
fishers results from the revised recreational fishing
arrangements introduced in 2010.
