Public consultation on the topic is closed.

How you had your say

We released an exposure draft of the Winegrape Purchases Code of Conduct (the Code) and invited feedback from participants within the wine and grape sector and other interested stakeholders.

You gave feedback through:

  • written submissions

  • in-person consultations in the Riverina, Riverland and Murray Valley

  • virtual consultations.

What happens next

Your feedback will be considered as we finalise the development of the Wine Code.

The Code is anticipated to commence from 1 January 2027.
