NIASA Limiting your plant sourcing risk
It can be hard to be across all the risks which are possible when souring plants, likewise it’s hard to see what happens behind the scenes at a nursery. There is however a way for you to limit your risk in plant sourcing by purchasing your plant stock from a nursery accredited through NIASA, part of the Nursery Production Farm Management System (FMS).
In operation for a quarter century, NIASA is independently audited by professionals, which means that you can be assured that accredited businesses are meeting the best standards in the industry.
Purchasing your plant stock from a NIASA accredited production nursery is a clear sign that you are limiting your biosecurity risk and responsibly souring your plant stock. For more information on the Nursery Production FMS and a list of accredited businesses visit the program website at www.nurseryproductionfms.com.au

2019 Australasian Property Tax Summit Funding Futures for Local Government Conference November 14-15, 2019
Angliss Conference Centre, Melbourne
Property taxes, a vital source of government revenues, are often portrayed as an excessive impost of households and business. The demand for community services and infrastructure continues to grow and local government’s role is expanding. How can local councils optimize their existing revenue base? Does the system of property taxation need to change? What are possible options for the future and what can we learn?
The International Property Tax Institute (IPTI) presents a two-day conference featuring leading experts from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Britain.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Local government mayors, councillors, chief executives and managers; state, territory, federal government officials; representatives of business and community organisations; academic researchers and other individuals with an interest in tax policy and options for future funding of public services and infrastructure.
Please see our brochure for more details.
