Millicent Stock Transfer Facility (Prev. Saleyards)
The Millicent Stock Transfer Facility is a convenient, affordable, well presented and hygienic facility situated on Saleyards Road, Millicent just 3.5 kms from the town centre.
The facility has dirt yards to reduce stress and foot soreness of livestock. Other features include a two bay Avdata truck wash and holding paddocks.
Transition from a Saleyards to a Stock Transfer Facility
At the June 29 2023 special meeting, Council resolved to resume spending on the Millicent Saleyards to meet the SafeWork SA requirements in order to:
- maintain the truck wash and allied effluent management system;
- allow for the transit of stock through 10 designated cattle yards and the dirt yards; and
- maintain associated activities which take place at the Millicent Saleyards (e.g. Motorcycle training, Drift car events, Truck stop).
The Stock Transfer Facility is no longer operating as a Saleyards and there are no livestock being sold at the facility.
The EPA Licence associated with the facility has been surrendered following the 12 September 2023 Council meeting.
Following the 10 October 2023 Council meeting, expenditure on the transfer facility has been postponed until such time as the Audit and Risk Committee receives a report in February 2024 in relation to usage and operation.
