Wine Leaders Seize Chance to Brief State Government
Accepting an invite to open the
2006 Landmark Wine Industry Field
Day was the perfect opportunity for
Minister for Agriculture and Food,
Hon. Kim Chance to hear about local
wine industry issues.
Mr Chance met with a number of key
industry leaders on Friday, May 5
and was briefed on issues such as
regional branding, the Wine Watch
waste water project, Right to Farm
and associated planning issues, wine
equalisation tax and regional participation
in State Government export
promotion initiatives.
Mr Chance told exhibitors and visited
gathered at the opening the Government
would continue to focus on
developing food and beverage
exports, particularly to the Asian
markets, and his Department would
maintain its activities in market
development to assist in securing
higher value markets for exporters.
He also gave a commitment to work
closely with industry groups such as
the Margaret River Wine Industry
Association to lay future foundations.
