This unique opportunity presents the chance to acquire the former largest domestic abattoir in Australia, known as Churchill Abattoir. Prior to its closure, this extensive facility was capable of processing up to 650 head of cattle daily. Historically, the abattoir also processed pigs and lambs before focusing exclusively on beef cattle.

The property encompasses a comprehensive abattoir facility dedicated to beef processing, supported by irrigated cropping and grazing land. Operating successfully as a domestic abattoir from 2001 until 2018, the business was the exclusive supplier of carcass beef to Woolworths Ltd across Queensland and New South Wales, processing approximately 2,850 carcasses weekly.

Before ceasing operations, Churchill Abattoir managed the kill floor and processed all by-products on-site, employing around 120 personnel during active operations. Woolworths Ltd leased the boning room until June 30, 2018, with the workforce ranging between 500 and 600 employees.

The property benefits from excellent logistics, featuring Road Train and B-Double access to the Cunningham and Warrego Highways, facilitating efficient distribution to both southern and northern markets. Its proximity to Brisbane further enhances its strategic value.

Constructed in two phases, the original kill floor dates back to 1945, while a newer large cool room was built in 2005 and extended eight years ago. Significant investment of approximately $6.5 million was made to upgrade the electrical systems of the main plant.

The abattoir facility covers approximately 15,500 square meters and includes key operational areas such as the slaughter floor, boning room, packing room, chillers, freezer, and various ancillary rooms including offal processing, packing, storage, and boot wash areas.

This property offers the opportunity to secure a state-of-the-art abattoir at a considerable discount compared to construction costs, providing a platform to operate close to key end markets.
