The Australian Government has allocated $15 million under the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative for six highly collaborative proposals as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthen innovation and improve research outcomes. The proposals will provide Australian scientists with access to research infrastructure that will enhance Australia’s research capabilities....These projects add to the suite of strategic infrastructure investments under the Australian Government’s $8.3 billion Backing Australia’s Ability initiative.
The six participating projects are:
Australian Research Enabling Environment (ARCHER)
Research Activityflow and Middleware Priorities (RAMP)
Australian Research Repositories Online to the World (ARROW) - Stage 2
Legal Frameworks for e-Research
Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR) - Stage 2
Integrated Content Environment for Research and Scholarship (ICE-RS)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
