Smoke Management Policy and Broadacre Burning Smoke Management Guidelines
Published 28th April 2023
These documents have been created in collaboration with the winegrape and grains industries to minimise the risk of smoke impacting on people, places, and horticulture and viticulture crops.
The policy and associated guidelines provide a useful list of considerations for grain growers to consider when planning stubble burn. They also encourage grape growers to actively report on the progress of their harvest.
The joint consideration of these measures will help to minimise the risk of smoke impact on wine grapes across growing areas that are experiencing unseasonably late harvests.
