The Entwine Australia Indicators will be collected in an attempt to show some broad scale industry trends.
All information will be confidential and will be used to show aggregated trends as opposed to individual operator’s information. By collecting this information the WFA will be able to assess the industry’s environmental trends against previous years and other industries.
Reporting of Entwine Australia Indicators by operators will be based on annual figures and must take into account the previous full financial year’s data. Operators must also ensure that if their property includes other activities not related to winemaking/vineyard activities that these are
not included in the indicators. Only the activities directly related to winemaking/vineyard activities should be included. Accurate estimations of data will be acceptable.
