Regional Trade Distribution Centre

The sky’s the limit for Queensland’s primary producers, with the opening of the $10 million Regional Trade Distribution Centre at Toowoomba’s Wellcamp airport.

Queensland's agricultural industries make a vital contribution to the lives of Queenslanders with the sector delivering almost $20 billion to the economy, supporting more than 300,000 jobs.

The RTDC is streamlining the paddock-to-freight process for graziers and growers throughout the Toowoomba and Downs regions.

Premium Queensland fresh food such as prime beef, fruit and vegetables can now be airfreighted into markets all over the world faster and fresher than ever before.

Wagner Corporation is driving the next phase of economic growth by unlocking private sector investment, which is the critical element to the Queensland economy.

Queensland exports support one in five Queensland jobs — 1 in 4 in the regions — with about 40 per cent of the 7,473 goods exports based in regional Queensland.

 

This will supercharge rapid airfreight access for agricultural producers,” said Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk. “It means graziers and growers will have easier access to export markets and that means jobs.
