#FixTheAct

The government's response to the Climate Change Act review is a missed opportunity. Tell your MP we need real adaptation plans and an independent climate body.

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
