South East Livestock Exchange (SELX)

Development Consent has been sought to construct and operate a new South East Livestock Exchange (SELX) on a 14 ha green field site located approximately 2.5 km west of Yass.

The proposed SELX seeks to secure an annual throughput of approximately 150,000 cattle and 1,330,000 sheep and lambs by 2021. Prime cattle and sheep sales would be held weekly, along with monthly store cattle and quarterly store sheep sales. The proposed SELX incorporates design features to maximise patron safety and animal welfare whilst minimising environmental impacts. Roofing the facility is also proposed to minimise effluent generation and reduce demand on Council’s potable supply.

The SELX is also proposed to contain ancillary facilities including a three bay truck wash, truck driver ablution building, maintenance shed, patron amenities, an agents building and car parking. Associated development works include road construction from Bellevale Road, connection to Council’s water and sewer mains and connection to reticulated power and communication services.
