The Management Agency, of the American Foulbrood National Pest Management Strategy (the National Beekeepers’ Association (Inc)), hereby advises, as prescribed in the Biosecurity (American Foulbrood – Apiary and Beekeeper Levy) Order 2003, that the levy for the 2006 2007 year will remain the same as it has been for
the 2003 2004, 2004 2005 and 2005 2006 years.
This levy was fixed on 9 January 2006.
The levy rate will be (excluding G.S.T.):
(a) Base levy of $20.00; and
(b) apiary levy of $8.00 per apiary.
However, as stated in clause 7 (4), if a beekeeper owns fewer than 11 beehives on fewer than four apiaries, the sum of the number of registered apiaries must be treated as one.
