The Minister for Primary Industries initiated the first in a series of partnership investment ventures when he opened the Wagga Wagga Agricultural Innovation Park, subsequently renamed EH Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation. NSW DPI’s Wagga Wagga Agricultural Institute and Charles Sturt University at Wagga are the partners. Through the venture, Wagga gains a critical mass of scientists with the ability to attract competitive project funding for research, extension and education.

Dr Deirdre Lemerle is the first director of the Centre and, in this capacity, also assumes the role of Professor of Agricultural Innovation.
