Council staff this week began levelling works on the site, the first step in preparing the land for power connection and road construction.
On her first day back from extended leave, Chief Executive Officer Maree Wauchope authorised $157,000 worth of works to connect the estate to existing high-voltage infrastructure on the highway. This upgrade will deliver a 420 kVA load to service the new industrial land, with trenching, conduit laying and backfilling scheduled for November. Road construction for the estate is planned for early next year.
Mayor Leonie Kerley said the industrial development was a priority project for Council.
“Council has asked Maree to continue the work we began in 2024, including delivering the essential infrastructure needed for this industrial area to succeed,” Mayor Kerley said.
“This is a clear priority for us, and I’m pleased to see Council’s team already out on site progressing the works to bring this project to life for our community and region.”
