Queensland Agriculture Minister John McVeigh<\/figcaption><\/figure>February 11, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister John McVeigh has announced fee relief for some primary producers and businesses impacted by the recent floods, but the South Burnett has missed out so far.<\/p>\n

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry will vary fee payments for those suffering hardship in the Bundaberg, Fraser Coast, Gympie, Lockyer Valley and North Burnett council areas.<\/p>\n

All these areas are currently declared\u00a0as \u201cCategory C\u201d under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements.\u00a0The South Burnett currently has an application in for this to occur.<\/p>\n

Mr McVeigh said fee relief would also be available to producers in any additional areas that may be declared under \u201cCategory C\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said the aim was to give businesses a temporary extension on payment of some fees and charges they would normally incur, until they were back in production.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy department administers a range of fees, particularly in the areas of biosecurity services and fisheries licences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fees to be deferred for three months until April 30, 2013:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Biosecurity Qld laboratory and testing fees<\/li>\n
  • Plant Health Inspection and Certification (PHIC) fees and Interstate Certification Assurance (ICA) fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Department of Environment and Heritage Protection has confirmed that environmental fees have also been deferred for those businesses suffering hardship in flood-declared areas.<\/p>\n

    DAFF will apply this for intensive livestock operations such as cattle feedlots and piggeries.<\/p>\n

    With regard to the forestry sector, DAFF will assess payment difficulties on a case by case basis in regard to monthly payments of accounts for timber and quarry royalties, as per normal procedures.<\/p>\n

    Timber processors and quarry operators can contact DAFF Forest Products and request their particular circumstances be considered.<\/p>\n

    Mr McVeigh said other fee deferrals are also being offered; eg. DAFF\u2019s Beef Breeding Services at Rockhampton will hold over January and February invoices, after which, flood affected producers should contact the department if further deferral is required.<\/p>\n

    The Tick Fever Centre at Wacol, which provides tick fever vaccine for cattle producers, will defer vaccine charges for flood-affected producers who need vaccine to move cattle, as part of the relief measures.<\/p>\n

    As well, Mr McVeigh said Safe Food Production Queensland, a Statutory Body in his portfolio, was also offering extensions on fee payments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
