Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This declaration names the Grains Council of Australia as the official industry body for wheat under Australia's export charge system.

What it does

Declares the Grains Council of Australia to be the "designated body" for wheat under the Primary Industries (Customs) Charges Act 1999
This authorizes the Council to receive and manage the customs charges (export fees) paid when wheat is exported from Australia
These funds are typically used for industry research, development, marketing, and other approved activities

Who it affects

Wheat exporters (who pay the charges at the border)
The Grains Council of Australia (which receives the revenue to fund wheat industry priorities)

Why it matters Without this declaration, wheat export charges would go into general government revenue. By designating the Grains Council, the legislation ensures the wheat industry controls its own levy funding to invest in projects that benefit growers and exporters.
