such a population. These demands

have led the Council onto the path of

smart planning and long term thinking.

Dubbo Regional Livestock

Markets

Agriculture has always been, and still

is, a very important part of Dubbo’s

economy. The multimillion dollar

Dubbo livestock market is one of

the largest sale yards in Australia for

throughput, with 1.3million sheep and

over 200,000 cattle being sold there

every year. It is owned and operated

by the Council and has been like that

for fifty years now. The infrastructure

is constantly being upgraded. In 2015

$4 million was spent on upgrading the

sheep selling facilities, and 2016 and

2017 will see another $4 million spent

on upgrading the cattle facilities. 

McLeod says these upgrades are

essential for business and the City.

“The Aim of the upgrade is to keep

Dubbo as one of the major stock

selling centres in Australia. It is a

business worth $50 million a year for

the city’s economy, so it’s important

the Council continues to invest in it.

If you’ve got a good yard with a lot

of buyers and sellers, it’s very good

not only for local farmers but also

farmers across the whole of eastern

Australia. They know that if they send

their stock to Dubbo there will be lots

of buyer and lots of competition for

purchase of their stock.
