HAVE YOUR SAY BY APRIL 30

The Federal Department of Infrastructure proposes amendments to current legislation to commence charging a levy on operators of canoes and kayaks, which in our view, is not about safety but cost recovery, and in an unfair way by taxing many small businesses larger amounts.

We urge you and your organisation or business to have your say via the Federal Department of Infrastructure’s public consultation process, CLOSING MONDAY 30th APRIL.
 
We must qualify that due to the incredibly short public consultation period, we and other support organisations in the sector have not had sufficient time to fully investigate these proposed changes. 
However from the work we have undertaken we believe we need to bring this issue to your attention, for reasons listed below.
