Dairy Review

Council, in conjunction with Wattle Range Council, engaged SED Advisory to undertake an independent review of the dairy industry across both Council districts. The review considered the potential future of the industry, opportunities for growth as well as potential constraints to the industry’s growth. The Dairy industry is of significant economic value to the Limestone Coast. The South Australian dairy sector is considered a world leader in dairy yields - 20% higher than the rest of Australia and two to three times higher than the global average. The Limestone Coast region yields are, on average, higher than the rest of Australia. For quite some time, over 90% of raw milk produced in the Wattle Range and Grant District Council areas was transported to processors located outside the Limestone Coast region.  The full report can be accessed here.
