Sheep and lamb transaction levy review

SELX-Sheep-26-JulyThe Sheepmeat Council of Australia is seeking proposals from suitably qualified people/organisations to conduct a review of the Sheep and Lamb Transaction Levies.

A review of the Sheep and Lamb Transaction Levy (STL) is being undertaken to ensure the levy provides adequate funding to meet the sheepmeat industry’s strategic priorities under the Sheep Industry Strategic Plan 2015-2020.

The STL is utilised in the collection of industry funds for marketing, research, development and adoption (Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)) and for funding the sheep industries commitments to animal health and welfare (Animal Health Australia) (AHA)) and chemical residue testing programs (National Residue Survey) (NRS)). The last complete review of the STL was in 2005.
