This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase the former largest domestic abattoir in Australia. Churchill Abattoir (the Property), before its closure was a large stock abattoir processing up to 650 head of cattle per day but did once also slaughter pigs and lambs before becoming a beef only processor.
Churchill Abattoir is comprised of an abattoir facility which processed beef cattle with supporting irrigated cropping and grazing land. The Property was successfully operated as a domestic abattoir between 2001* and 2018*. The business had exclusively supplied Woolworths Ltd with all its carcass beef requirements in Queensland and New South Wales, processing 2,850* bodies each week.
Prior to the company closing its doors, Churchill Abattoir operated the Kill Floor and processes all by products on site, employing 120* personnel when operating. Woolworths Ltd had leased the boning room up until 30 June 2018 and had between 500 – 600 employees.
The Property is benefited by Road Train and B-Double access to the Cunningham and Warrego Highways providing access to both southern and northern markets, being in proximity to Brisbane.
Constructed in two phases, the kill floor was constructed in 1945* with the newer large cool room constructed in 2005* and extended eight* years ago. The whole main plant had $6.5* million dollars spent upgrading the electrics. The abattoir includes approx. 15,500m2 of the following:
– Slaughter floor
– Boning Room
– Packing Room
– Chillers
– Freezer
– Various ancillary rooms including offal, packing, storages and boot washes
Churchill Abattoir presents the opportunity to secure a state-of-the-art abattoir at a significant discount to construction cost, providing an opportunity to operate within proximity to end markets.
