(1) The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) received $35,883,694.13 in 2007-08 from third parties from grants, gifts and environmental offsets and $25,700,453.82 in 2008-09 from grants and environmental offsets. No gifts were received in 2008-09. In respect to in kind data received, DEC is involved in numerous collaborations in scientific research and other programs with third parties, including with other State agencies, Australian Government agencies, universities and private sector organisations. It would be difficult and subjective to attribute a financial value to in kind data. DEC's 2007-08 Science Research Activity Report, published on DEC's website, illustrates the extent of collaborations and partnerships between DEC's Science Division and third parties. If the Member has a question in relation to any particular project, I would be happy to provide that information.

Income from third parties from grants, gifts and environmental offsets amounted to 11.7% in 2007-08 and from grants and environmental offsets amounted to 8.1% in 2008-09.
