Overview

The Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement (Average Gross Value of Production Amounts) Determination 2025 was enacted to address the need for a consistent and transparent method of calculating the average gross value of production amounts for primary industries. This legislation was introduced to ensure that levies and charges are disbursed fairly among the relevant entities within the primary industries sector. It was enacted by Joanna Stanion, as a delegate of the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, under subsection 25(2) of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024. The policy objective of this determination is to provide a standardised approach to calculating the average gross value of production, which will facilitate equitable distribution of funds raised through levies and charges. This determination sets out the average gross value of production amounts for specified recipient bodies for the financial year starting on 1 July 2025, based on the gross value of production for the financial years starting on 1 July 2022, 1 July 2023, and 1 July 2024.

Scope and Application

The Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement (Average Gross Value of Production Amounts) Determination 2025 applies to specific entities within the primary industries sector in Australia, as identified by their Australian Business Numbers (ABNs) in the determination. This determination is made under subsection 25(2) of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024 and establishes the average gross value of production amounts for each specified recipient body for the financial year starting on 1 July 2025. The application of this determination is limited to the entities listed, which include entities like Australian Eggs Limited, Australian Pork Limited, Cotton Research and Development Corporation, and others. The geographic reach of this determination is national, as it pertains to entities operating within Australia's primary industries sector. The determination does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but the specified entities are the primary focus. The determination may be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments as necessary under the authority of the Act.

Key Provisions

The Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement (Average Gross Value of Production Amounts) Determination 2025I sets out the average gross value of production amounts for various recipient bodies for the financial year starting on 1 July 2025 (section 5). This determination is based on the gross value of production amounts for the financial years starting on 1 July 2022, 1 July 2023, and 1 July 2024. Each recipient body listed in the determination has its gross values for these years and the calculated average gross value of production amount for the 2025-26 financial year specified in a table (section 5). The obligations under this Act primarily concern the calculation and reporting of gross value of production amounts for the specified financial years and the determination of average gross value of production amounts for the 2025-26 financial year. The recipient bodies must ensure that the values they report are accurate and that they comply with the reporting requirements set forth in the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024. The delegate of the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Joanna Stanion, is responsible for making this determination (section 3). There are no explicit provisions within the determination itself regarding offences, penalties, or consequences for breaches. However, breaches of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024, under which this determination is made, could result in penalties. The Act may outline specific penalties for non-compliance, which could include fines or other civil or criminal penalties depending on the nature and severity of the breach. The exact penalties would need to be referred to in the primary Act, as this determination focuses primarily on the calculation and reporting aspects.
