Description:
- EPBS Can Reduce Project Costs
EPBS provides an opportunity for Australian industry to access tariff duty concessions on eligible goods for major projects in the mining, resource processing, agriculture, food processing, food packaging, manufacturing, gas supply, power supply, and water supply industries where certain conditions are met.
- EPBS Creates Opportunities for Australian Suppliers:
Each project applying for EPBS must have an Australian Industry Participation (AIP) Plan. AIP Plans provide Australian industry with a full, fair and reasonable opportunity to participate in major projects and encourage the use of Australian industry in global supply chains.
- AusIndustry Customer Service Managers Can Help You:
AusIndustry's Customer Service Managers can guide you through the preparation and submission of your EPBS application.
It is important to talk to an AusIndustry Customer Service Manager at the very early stages of your project. Customer Service Managers have extensive experience in assisting customers to access the EPBS program and work closely with the Industry Capability Network (ICN) and State Government Departments.
To find out how an AusIndustry CSM can assist you with your EPBS project please read the 'How Customer Service Managers Can Help You' Fact Sheet.
