An Act to provide for the South Australian Citrus Industry Development Board and for administration by the Board of a fund for citrus industry purposes; to repeal the Citrus Industry Act 1991; and for other purposes.

Part 1—Preliminary

1.   Short title

This Act may be cited as the Citrus Industry Act 2005.

2.   Commencement

(1)    Subject to subsection (2), this Act will come into operation on a day to be fixed by proclamation.

(2)    Schedule 1 Part 3 comes into operation on the day on which this Act is assented to by the Governor.

3.   Interpretation

In this Act—

Board means the South Australian Citrus Industry Development Board established under this Act;

citrus fruit means citrons, lemons, limes, grapefruit, mandarins, oranges, sevilles, tangerines or a hybrid of any of those fruits;

citrus fruit product means a product derived wholly or in part from citrus fruit;

citrus industry includes the production, harvesting, packing, processing, storage, transporting and sale of citrus fruit and citrus fruit product;

citrus industry participant means—

(a)    a person who carries on the business of producing citrus fruit for sale (a citrus grower); or

(b)    a person who carries on the business of packing citrus fruit for sale by wholesale (a citrus packer); or

(c)     a person who carries on the business of processing citrus fruit into a citrus fruit product for sale by wholesale (a citrus processor); or

(d)    a person who carries on the business of selling citrus fruit or citrus fruit product by wholesale (a citrus wholesaler).

Note—

A person may be a citrus industry participant in more than 1 capacity. For example, a person who carries on the business of producing citrus fruit for sale and of selling citrus fruit by wholesale will be both a citrus grower and a citrus wholesaler.

The fact that a person carries on a business other than the business that results in the person being a citrus industry participant does not detract from that person being a citrus industry participant. For example, a person who carries on the business of selling citrus fruit or citrus fruit product both by retail and by wholesale will be a citrus wholesaler.
