REGULATIONS UNDER THE WINE GRAPES CHARGES ACT 1929-1957.*

WHEREAS it is enacted by sub-section (1.) of section three of the Wine Grapes Charges Act 1929-1957 that a charge is imposed and shall be levied and paid on all grapes delivered to a winery or distillery for use in the manufacture of wine:

And whereas it is enacted by sub-section (2.) of that section that, subject to a lower rate of charge being prescribed by the Regulations, the rate of charge—

(a) in respect of fresh grapes, shall be Fifteen shillings per ton; and

(b) in respect of dried grapes, shall be Two pounds five shillings per ton,

of grapes delivered to a winery or distillery for use in the manufacture of wine:

And whereas it is enacted by section five of that Act that the Governor-General may make regulations, after report to the Minister by the Australian Wine Board, for prescribing lower rates of the charge imposed on grapes intended for use in the manufacture of wine:

And whereas the Australian Wine Board has reported to the Minister that the rate of charge to be imposed on grapes delivered to a winery or distillery on or after the first day of February, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine for use in the manufacture of wine should be Twelve shillings per ton in respect of fresh grapes and One pound sixteen shillings per ton in respect of dried grapes, being rates lower than the rates imposed by the Wine Grapes Charges Act 1929-1957:
