Issued by the Authority for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

Wine Australia Corporation Act 1980

Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation (Annual General Meeting of the Industry) Amendment Regulations 2011 (No. 1)

Section 46 of the Act provides, in part, that the Governor-General may make regulations consistent with the Act to prescribe all matters permitted and required to give effect to the Act.

The regulations amend the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation (Annual General Meeting of the Industry) Regulations 1999 to reflect the change in name of the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation to Wine Australia Corporation made in the Financial Framework Legislation Amendment Act 2010.

The name change of the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation to Wine Australia Corporation is to better reflect the current activities of the Corporation and the Australian wine industry.

Consultation has been undertaken. The Corporation requested the name change and has been consulted about the change. The Winemakers' Federation of Australia and the Department of Finance and Deregulation support the name change. The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) has advised that no Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) is required.

Details of the regulations are set out in the Attachment.

The regulations commence on the day after they are registered in the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments.
