We prepared a Consultation Paper with a number of discussion questions to support an independent review of the Horticulture Code of Conduct (Code). This review is being led by Mr Chris Leptos AO to provide recommendations to government about whether the Code should be remade, remade with amendments or allowed to sunset in April 2027.
