Queensland banana growers have received updated land valuations from the Valuer-General – and for many, ABGC understands that the changes are significant. As increased valuations can drive up council rates, ABGC seeks to minimise the increase in pressure to already stretched farm budgets.
That’s why ABGC is taking proactive steps to advocate on behalf of growers by calling on government to work with industry to minimise rating impacts on banana farms.
ABGC invites all growers to complete the industry petition. It’s a simple but powerful way to demonstrate unity and the need for urgent attention.
The industry will need a minimum of 300 signatories to make a suitable case in its submission to the Valuer General.
Growers can complete the petition by Sunday 13th July 2025 to support this campaign.
