Saleyards upgrade approved

A TOTAL of $190,000 was allocated in the Southern Downs Regional Council’s budget to improve conditions at the Warwick Saleyards.
The funds will be used to construct an amenities block at the truck wash.
The truck wash is a highly used facility and a profitable area of operations at the saleyards, with an estimated income for 2013/14 of $144,000, with expected expenditure of $63,000.
A master plan for the saleyards is also being developed in order to secure future state and federal government grants and funding for expansion of the saleyards.
