Ammonium nitrate licences available

PEOPLE who sell, store, transport or use products containing 45 per cent ammonium nitrate should apply now for licences which will be required after 1 January next year.
The new licensing scheme is being introduced following national agreements between the Commonwealth and each of the States and Territories reached last year.
The Victorian Government says it has introduced a costeffective and welltargeted system to ensure access for legitimate users, and restrictions to minimise the chance of ammonium nitrate products being used in terrorist and other illegal activity.
www.worksafe.vic.gov.au has detailed information about the licensing and security arrangements required under the new regulations as well as a series of questions and answers.
