Greengrocery training program update
The MMA announced in 2016 it was working with Melbourne Polytechnic to establish a Greengrocery training program to address a lack of formal training and qualifications in the industry, which has been a longstanding issue.
The subjects and course content required for a Certification 2 and 3 in Greengrocery has been completed and reviewed externally.
There are a couple of further steps required before enrolments are expected to open in December this year.
More information will be available in the Winter edition of Marketfresh News, due out next month.
Parking permit renewals due
Parking permit renewals have been issued and are due for payment by 30 June.
Your 2017/2018 permit sticker becomes valid after payment. Pay your invoice by the due date by visiting the Customer Service Centre, online or via BPAY.
Replace your old sticker with the latest version from 1 July and dispose of your old sticker thoughtfully.
