Dairy Complex – Hedley
4 Sheds, 1 Farm
In January 2019, this dairy farm was bare paddocks. Located in Hedley, Victoria, this site is now a modern dairy complex.
The sheds were designed and manufactured in stages.
Stage one included the rotary dairy shed and the stockyard cover. Quoting and permits commenced in May 2018. Installation of these sheds was completed by March 2019.
The calving barn and the calf rearing shed were stage two of the project. The quote and permit processes started in October 2020 and installation of both sheds was completed by June 2021.
