K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): I am advised: 1.	In response to the first question, a number of industry roadmaps are currently being prepared or have been completed in the following areas: Functional and luxury food—a study into functional and luxury food value chains with a focus on Asian markets is underway (due for completion in December 2015). Assistive technologies—an industry roadmap for assistive technologies has recently been completed by the University of Adelaide in collaboration with Germany's Fraunhofer Institute. The findings have been presented to industry. Opportunities and projects identified in the roadmap will be further developed by industry, the research community and government under the auspices of the Innovative Manufacturing CRC. ICT Roadmap for Minerals and Energy Projects—roadmap reports from CSIRO and Deloitte have identified a number of opportunities for ICT in minerals and petroleum projects in South Australia. Three projects have been funded to date through the Mining and Petroleum Services Centre of Excellence. Three ICT roadmap industry roundtables have occurred with over 400 industry attendees resulting in further projects that are under development. Cellulose Fibre Chain Roadmap—the Cellulose Fibre Roadmap has been completed. The Cellulose Fibre Value Chain Study, along with the $27 million South East Forestry Partnerships Program administered by Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA), has contributed to increased collaboration and a renewed confidence within the forestry industry. Industry is investigating and making investments in higher value added forestry activities with support from the program. A photonics value chain analysis has recently commenced with the University of Adelaide's Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing as a first step in developing a roadmap for establishing South Australia as a globally recognised centre for photonics and sensing. 2.	The commonwealth government has made no contribution towards the development of industry roadmaps.
