Overview
Tru Blu Prawn Farm
Australia's first prawn farm is located on a vast 91.22-acre property fronting 338 metres of deep-water on the Clarence River at Palmers Island, just outside the popular tourist destination of Yamba, NSW. This renowned farm is known for producing the highly recognized 'Tru-Blu' prawn brand, distributed widely across Australia.
The farm operates at an impressive production rate of 17 tonnes per hectare, showcasing a professional local business that manages the entire process from pond to plate. The site includes 38.5 acres of stocked water area featuring 24 grow-out ponds, 2 hatchery ponds, and 2 settlement ponds, supporting a robust aquaculture operation.
Complementing the water areas, there are 52.8 acres of high-tech infrastructure, including state-of-the-art processing facilities capable of harvesting, cooking, snap freezing, and cold storage to handle an annual harvest of 200 tonnes. The advanced hatchery can produce 70 million post-larval juvenile prawns annually, sufficient to meet the farm's production needs and supply competitors at a competitive rate.
Additional aquaculture licenses allow for the farming of other seafood delicacies such as fish, crabs, oysters, premium-priced eels, and even food-grade algae, offering diverse production opportunities.
The property includes a magnificent two-story manager's residence with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a second cottage, and separate worker's quarters. Additionally, there is an approved waterfront homesite ready for development, providing an excellent lifestyle opportunity.
To support local and tourist demand, the farm operates a shop on-site, with potential for expansion to capitalize on the region's growing tourism industry. The location is just 10 minutes from some of Australia's most famous surfing beaches in Yamba, a town twice voted Australia's best tourist town, and approximately an hour from Ballina, Lismore, and Grafton.
Tru Blu Prawn Farm represents not only a profitable investment but also a unique lifestyle opportunity in a thriving regional area. Interested parties are encouraged to request an information memorandum to explore the full potential of this exceptional property.
