NEW PRICE SCHEDULE AND GREENHOUSE BOOKING POLICY
The Plant Health and Environment Laboratory (PHEL) has completed the construction of 12 new Level 3B PEQ greenhouses at Mt Albert in Auckland. These new greenhouses are set to open and receive the first plant material in September 2024.
In preparation for the opening of the Mt Albert facility, we reviewed PHEL service costs in 2023. This led to developing new prices and a greenhouse booking policy, on which we sought customer feedback.
We thank everyone who took the time to provide their feedback. After carefully considering the submissions, we are introducing a new Level 3B PEQ greenhouse booking and prioritisation policy and updating prices for L3B PEQ services from 15 March 2024. The new prices for our diagnostic testing services will apply from 1 July 2024.
