CHS Broadbent has bought a 14.6-hectare parcel within the Moree Special Activation Precinct. The company plans to use the site to expand its capacity for storing and handling grain, cotton and fertiliser, as well as for import and export activity. Agricultural supply chains rely on storage and transport infrastructure to move crops and inputs between farms, processors and markets. This acquisition fits that broader need by adding capacity at a site inside a special activation precinct.
The purchase could affect local growers and agricultural businesses by improving access to storage and handling services, potentially reducing bottlenecks during harvest or export periods. It may also influence regional employment and transport activity around Moree. Broader food and fibre supply chains could benefit if added capacity helps goods move more reliably, though actual effects would depend on how the site is developed and used.
