Olive Levy Update

The AOA lodged the Olive Industry levy proposal in October with the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. AOA is now advised that no opposing submissions were received during a statutory six-week period in which individuals were able to lodge a formal objection to the proposal, that ended on 8 December 2011. A regulatory impact statement and draft regulations are being drafted by the Department. Subject to a favourable decision by the Minister it is anticipated that the proposed olive levy of $3.10 per fresh tonne will be announced in the New Year.

For further information contact Peter McFarlane on 0418 839 836 or (08) 8376-2161.

Regards, Lisa
