Levy Pay Register for the Sugar Industry

Kalagro

LEVY PAY REGISTER FOR THE SUGAR INDUSTRY

Please refer attached SRA communique regarding notice issued by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture on 31st May 2019.

The following additional points are made:

1. This is applicable to all levy payers – not just the voluntary members of SRA;
2. In some areas, such as Wilmar, some growers opted out of making their data available to SRA. This is different in that it deals with levy payments only.
3. This will provide SRA with contact details of all levy payers which will be a positive in that it will now allow SRA the ability to communicate with members and levy payers which has not been possible in the past.
