The project resulted in the ongoing representation of the nursery sector as a signatory to the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed managed by Plant Health Australia. It provided technical input, links to industry and oversight and contribution to governance of the 202020 Vision marketing program.
Meetings with state nursery and garden industry were held and member and stakeholder meetings were attended to provide updates on nursery levy funded issues, while there was collaboration with Hort Innovation on the development and commissioning of a new biosecurity program for the Australian nursery industry. The project also resulted in the continued management of a number of nursery-levy-funded projects.
