A time to get the latest information and have your say.

WGCSA is hitting the road in April and May to talk to growers across South Australia. We want to hear first hand what is important to you and how we, your grower-owned organisation, can do even more to help you.

Our goals are to:

• Assist SA Growers to be the best, most respected and professional Wine Grape Growers in Australia.
• Support Growers to navigate through the legislation that affects their business.
• Be a trusted and reliable point of contact for all SA Wine Grape Growers.
• Strive to consistently make SA Wine Grapes the most highly sought after grapes in the country. 
• Inform Growers on best practices and threats to success (record keeping, pest and disease, WHS, risk assessments).
• Advocate for and win support for Wine Grape Growers through strong relationships with Government.

These roadshows are a great opportunity to connect and share what is happening and plan the best way forward for SA grape growers, especially in our changing political climate. Check out the SA Wine Industry Plan to see what we currently do to represent you and this important industry.

The roadshows will bring you up to date information and discuss the future of the voluntary contributions that fund WGCSA. The current levy structure is based on $1 per tonne and has not changed since 2009. This structure does not reflect the diversity of businesses in the wine grape growing regions of South Australia and we will be consulting members at every roadshow for their thoughts. 

We need to be fair and equitable with our levy structure to reflect the hard work put in by all South Australian wine grape growers. We ask that growers keep this in mind and work together as we determine the future of this organisation. 

I look forward to seeing you at your local roadshow. Be sure to register atwww.wgcsa.com.au/2018-roadshow
