Kempsey Regional Saleyards

Kempsey Regional Saleyards, located on Saleyards Road, West Kempsey, is owned by Council.

Council leases the facility to Kempsey Stock and Land, which maintains and operates the saleyards.

The saleyards provide an opportunity for buyers and sellers from across the region and throughout New South Wales to generate income and undertake herd development activities. These sales also support the wholesale and retail sectors of Kempsey Shire and provide broad economic and social benefits. Read more about local Agribusiness.
