Public consultation on the draft Wheat Port Code is closed.

To provide regulatory certainty and support a transition to self-regulation, the Australian Government has agreed to remake the Wheat Port Code in a streamlined format, with the Code to remain in place for 3 years.

How you had your say

We sought stakeholder’s feedback on the exposure draft instrument of the Competition and Consumer (Industry Code—Bulk Wheat) Regulations 2026, which will remake the Wheat Port Code.

We invited feedback from people across the wheat export supply chain, including wheat producers, exporters, port terminal service providers and industry representative organisations.

What happens next

We are currently analysing submission. Your feedback will be considered as we work to finalise the Competition and Consumer (Industry Code—Bulk Wheat) Regulations 2026, which will remake the Wheat Port Code.
