Cold Storage

Cold storage. Warm community

Building a national cold-chain hub for the northern rivers.

We’ve invested up to $8.5 million, creating a regional logistics hub for chilled and frozen food storage.

Backed by $4.1 million in State Government funding through the Regional Development Trust, the McCaughey Group is investing $8.5 million to establish a new cold storage and blast-freeze facility in Casino, NSW. This development will create a national distribution hub that connects Northern Rivers producers with domestic and international markets – supporting growth, jobs, and long-term regional resilience.
