DAIRY PRODUCE LEVY REPEAL REGULATIONS 1999 1999 NO. 124

Issued by the authority of the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Dairy Produce Levy Repeal Regulations 1999

The purpose of the regulations is to repeal redundant regulations.

Section 14 of the Dairy Produce Levy (No.1) Act 1986 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General has the authority to make regulations.

Background/Context

The Act provides for the imposition of dairy industry levies on milk produced in Australia. These levies are the market milk levy, the manufacturing milk levy, the research levy, the Corporation levy, the promotion levy and the Australian Animal Health Council levy. From 1 July 1999 schedule 6 of the Primary Industries (Excise) Levies Act 1999 (the Excise Act) will replace the Act.

With the commencement of the Excise Act and the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Regulations, the Dairy Produce Levy Regulations will become redundant. It is good administrative practice to repeal the unnecessary regulations.
