Closed Warrnambool livestock site gets new commercial tenant
ACE Training has leased Warrnambool saleyards temporarily. The closed site will support heavy vehicle training.
Warrnambool's old livestock saleyards closed in December 2022. Now they will host heavy vehicle training under a temporary lease.
ACE Training operates across regional Victoria. The company will use the site's office buildings for student training and office work.
The old yards will support off-road practice. This includes reversing and load securing.
ACE Training runs courses at other places. Warrnambool students now travel to Ballarat for training.
A local base cuts that travel burden. The lease is temporary and designed to test demand.
This could lead to a permanent move later. For now, it brings money to the council.
The site will then be ready for longer-term redevelopment.
