Summary
Key industry stakeholders involved within the Amenity Horticulture Cemetery industry who made up the External Working Group (EWG) met via Microsoft Teams between July 2021 to November 2021. Unit standards were reviewed, and changes recommended to ensure current industry requirements were met.
Consultation was carried out in November 2021 where consent to assess holders had the opportunity to give comment on the email sent asking for feedback to amendments and expiry.
There was no further feedback and the EWG was notified of their pending submission for registration.
