For the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attraction

 

(1)-(3) The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions is a science-based organisation. Research, innovation and science-related projects are undertaken across the agency, including through the department’s Biodiversity Conservation Science section, Parks and Wildlife Service divisions, regions and districts, Zoological Parks Authority, Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority and Rottnest Island Authority. Therefore, most of the work of the department could be considered to be science-related activities and it is not feasible to differentiate expenditure according to the categories in the question.
