South Australia’s Strategic Plan is comprised of 100 targets. These targets are specific and measurable and enable us to measure our progress towards achieving the Plan’s visions and goals.
Each target is reported on through this section of the website. Data is analysed and uploaded as it becomes available.
Target:
96. Public research expenditure:Public expenditure on research and development, as a proportion of Gross State Product, to be maintained at 1.2% to 2020

Target History
South Australia is repeatedly achieving this target as noted by the Audit Committee in their reports of 2008 and 2010.
As a result, this target has been changed to make it more ambitious. The target has also been changed to make it more relevant to South Australia and to maintain our current high proportion, rather than comparing us to an Australian average.
