Strathalbyn Abattoir

Project Summary

After the closures of Kangaroo Island, Normanville and now Strathalbyn abattoirs, the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island are without an abattoir of scale. Consequently, the region’s producers are lacking suitable options for their operations. The increased distance to abattoirs is impacting logistics,  costs of production, animal welfare, and carcass quality. It also impacts the ability for producers to develop and grow paddock-to-plate business models.

Recognising all these facts, RDA has sponsored the development of a business case and investor offering to facilitate the re-opening of the abattoir at Strathalbyn.

If you’re a producer and/or potential investor, connect to the Fleurieu Community Co-op for more information about being a part of this important regional initiative.
