Payment of the Vinehealth Australia contribution for the 2023-24 levy period is now overdue. If you haven’t paid your levy or contacted Vinehealth to discuss payment options, penalties may now be applied to your account.
In agreed circumstances, Vinehealth can offer instalment plan payments, deferment of due date, and waiving of penalties. However, Vinehealth is unable to waive the base rate levy and the variable rate levy components.
If you’re not sure if you’ve paid your levy, please contact Vinehealth on 8273 0550 or admin@vinehealth.com.au to discuss your account.
About the Vinehealth Australia Levy
Under the Phylloxera and Grape Industry Act 1995 (Act), all vineyards in South Australia of 0.5 hectares or more of planted vines, alive or dead, are required to be registered with Vinehealth Australia. Landowners of these vines are required to pay a levy contribution towards the state’s biosecurity activities.
Under the Act, complete removal of vines from the ground is required for the levy to no longer apply. Non-productive vines, abandoned vines, or vines left to animal grazing still incur the levy.
