APC EGG PRODUCERS' COMMITTEE

Establishment:

The APC Egg Producers’ Committee was established in 2002 after egg producers voted to replace the levy collected under the Poultry Industry (Trust Fund) Act with the Fee for Service under the Agricultural Produce Commission Act.

The Committee covers all Western Australian egg producers.

Committee Membership:

The Committee consists of five members all of whom are egg producers.

In line with good Committee governance, the Committee strives to achieve a balanced Board, with members possessing experience in a range of areas.

Committee members are elected for a three year period, and may apply for re-election once their period of tenure has expired.

On expiration of tenure, the Commission calls for expressions of interest from growers who might be interested in applying for membership on the Committee.  Should you have an interest in applying, please contact the Commission Executive Officer ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Functions:

The Committee is enabled to provide all services listed (a) to (m) in Section 12.1 of the APC Act.

Each year the Committee calls for Expressions of Interest in relation to suggestions on how the Committee should direct its activities (within the confines of the APC Service Functions) for the coming financial year.
