Peel Business Park
Nambeelup Kaadadjan
The Peel Business Park – Nambeelup Kaadadjan is the centrepiece of the 35-year visionary Transform Peel project that will create new industries, more jobs and better food security. Peel Business Park is a strategically located, sustainably designed industrial precinct in the Shire of Murray, only 75km south of Perth.
The 120ha Peel Business Park has a focus on creating local job opportunities, is positioned as WA’s home of agri innovation featuring the Shire of Murray’s Food Innovation Precinct Western Australia and is backed by best practice services including water, power, gas and telecommunications.
Food Innovation Precinct WA
The Food Innovation Precinct Western Australia is being developed in the Peel region to support Western Australia in building a robust and vibrant food and beverage manufacturing sector.
Specialised equipment and research and production capabilities will ensure the Precinct offers a substantial variety of technologies and processing methods, aimed at scientifically proving nutrition and traceability, and the development of high-value food with extended shelf life.
The Precinct will create an enabling environment for Western Australian, Australian and global entrepreneurs, food companies and agri-enterprises to cost-effectively network, research, develop, prototype and market-test new value-added food products derived from Western Australia primary produce.
Peel Agri Food Study
The Peel region is strategically positioned to contribute to the food and nutrition security of the Perth Metropolitan area, and greater Western Australia. The region also has capacity to capture high-value export opportunities to capitalise on global demand for food.
The Peel Agri Food Study identifies the Peel region as having the capacity for a range of high-value intensive rural and food production activities. The study researched land in the Peel region to assess its suitability for a range of intensive rural and food production uses.
Highlighted by the study were several innovative food production solutions as well as research for producing high-value product for domestic and global markets.
This research supports the region’s capacity to capture high-value export opportunities and to capitalise on the increasing global demand for food .
The Peel Agri Food Study indicates innovative food technology solutions while protecting the productive capacity of our soil and water resources, and maintaining WA’s world-class biosecurity system to deliver clean, safe and premium products. The WA agrifood sector is vital to growing our economy, jobs and regions.
The Peel Agri Food Study is managed by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
Peel Integrated Water Initiative
The Peel Integrated Water Initiative (PIWI) is an innovative approach to address the future water demands of the region within the Peel Agri-Food investigation area and the Peel Business Park.
It provides a unique opportunity to engage with business and agriculture industry leaders collaboratively to ensure water resource development in the Peel-Harvey catchment is carried out in a manner that is not only environmentally responsible but also enhances the ecological value of the area by reducing the nutrient levels entering the estuary. The PIWI project team has worked with researchers, scientists and industry leaders to develop innovative approaches to total water management to support the Transform Peel program.
