The facility was operated as a domestic abattoir between 2001 and 2018, processing 2850 bodies a week for Woolworths.
Located 4km south of Ipswich, the abattoir has heavy transport access to both the Cunningham and Warrego Highways, and is 75km from the Port of Brisbane.
The main abattoir was constructed in two phases: the kill floor in 1945, and the newer large cool room in 2005 and extended eight years ago.

The abattoir has numerous features including 50,100 square metres of hardstand, slaughter floor, boning room, packing room, chillers, and freezers.
