This study has been commissioned by the Department of Food and Agriculture (WA) and the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) to undertake a preliminary investigation of the need for a beef processing capability to service the WA Rangelands cattle production industry.
This study examines, at pre-feasibility level, the potential viability of an abattoir (or abattoirs), particularly from a physical supply chain perspective. It includes a capital cost estimate for a new facility, and recommendations as to the best location for an abattoir to provide maximum benefit to the greatest number of producers.
The final report prepared for the Department of Food and Agriculture, WA in relation to NW WA Beef abattoir, pre-feasibility study is now available on the RIRDC website.
