Submission on the Draft Primary Produce Safety Regulations
Jul
2026
TCC's submission on the draft Primary Produce Safety Regulations, arguing the proposed rules should target higher-risk commercial food production rather than applying uniformly to home gardens, community gardens and other non-commercial food sharing. Key recommendations: - Exempt non-commercial activities (home/community gardens, crop swaps, charities, school kitchen gardens) from the Regulations - Clarify the definition of "supply" to exclude informal, non-commercial food sharing - Exempt growers with under one hectare in production from accreditation, audits and fees - Recognise that short local supply chains present low traceability risk - Replace compliance requirements for low-risk producers with free education and guidance
