JR TURNER SALEYARDS - CLERMONT

The Isaac region’s premier beef precinct has achieved record numbers at the
Clermont Saleyards with more than 80,000 cattle processed in the past 12 months.
As Clermont is home to one of Queensland’s signifi cant trucking cattle centres, the JR Turner Saleyard is part
of a multi-million-dollar facelift. More than $3.2 million through the Australian Government’s Regional Recovery
Partnerships has been invested in Stage 2 of the Clermont Saleyards and Show grounds Revitalisation
Project.
The funding will help improve infrastructure and technology updates which will continue to support the Isaac AW7126511
region’s vision for a world class saleyards and show grounds in Clermont.
The stage 2 project will include key saleyards operational improvements through the delivery of a second
drafting facility, second loading dock and additional sale pens.
This will help improve effi ciencies to meet the growing demand of sale and transit cattle. It will also take
advantage of the site’s unfettered triple road train access and train load out facilities.
The pavilion refurbishment is currently underway starting from early July for 14 weeks at the adjoining show
grounds to help deliver education, training and conference facilities through digital and audio-visual upgrades.
The unique community venue offers sustainable, modern, adaptable and accessible facilities that support
dynamic event opportunities.
The upgrades complement the gross value of Isaac agriculture commodities produced which is $656.3 million
and this is supported by our $572.7 million beef industry.
This has been a collaborative project between Council, key stakeholder groups and a multi-disciplinary team.
