Moree Livestock Selling Centre to Be Evaluated
Explore Councils by state
Council will work with the Moree Livestock Selling Agents Association (MLSAA) to review the future of the Moree Livestock Selling Centre.
The saleyards have served for well over 50 years but Council and the MLSAA both agree it’s time to take a look at all options going forward.
From now until mid-2022, a comprehensive study will be carried out to determine industry needs for the yards, where they should be relocated to if moved, how the Inland Rail and Special Activation Precinct projects impact the current site, what the best operating model is as well as meeting biosecurity and emergency management requirements.
The decision included involving the State and Federal Governments for support and investment opportunities.
Mayor Katrina Humphries and Council met with Acting Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, when he was in Moree on Monday (November 1), and discussion of the saleyards was on the agenda.
The proposed collaboration between Council and the MLSAA was put forward at last Thursday’s (October 28) Council meeting.
