The Minister for Agriculture and Food, Hon Ken Baston MLC met with the Western Australian Meat Industry Authority Board last week to discuss, among
other things, the Muchea Livestock Centre Precinct.
WAMIA Chairman, David Lock said, “The Prospectus includes important aspects of the Precinct including Zoning, Permitted Uses under the Shire of
Chittering Planning Scheme and a plan of Proposed Lease Areas.”
“The Muchea Livestock Centre Precinct, located adjacent to the corner of the Brand Highway and Great Northern Highway is ideally placed for businesses
that service the northwest of the state. In the area, transport depots, metal fabricators and builders of transportables have already established. We are seeking to attract similar businesses through cost effective leases” Mr Lock said.
Shire Chief Executive, Mr Garry Tuffin said, “The Shire is supportive of development that will facilitate economic stimulus and employment opportunities locally”. “The Muchea Livestock Precinct takes advantage of the 303ha of land upon which the Muchea Livestock Centre is located, a fraction of which is used by the Saleyard itself”
