NSW wool industry transition to Goulburn

Overview

A new wool selling centre is under construction in Goulburn, with plans to be operational for auctions by January 2027. The facility is intended to facilitate the relocation of wool sales from Yennora to Goulburn, allowing growers to witness their products being sold.

While companies such as Nutrien and AWN have confirmed they will move their entire Sydney wool operations to the new Goulburn centre, the agribusiness Elders has remained uncertain regarding its future in the New South Wales market. An Elders spokesperson stated the company is “deeply committed” to its NSW clients while evaluating the implications of the industry transition.
