Devonport City Abattoir
Since the announcement in October that JBS intended to permanently cease being the operator of its Devonport City Abattoir on 15 November 2018 the Government has been working closely with JBS and Tasmanian Quality Meats (TQM) to ensure a continuation of pork processing at the site for at least the next two years. An agreement has been reached between JBS and TQM to commence operations at the facility from Tuesday 20 November.
Any businesses either affected by the JBS announcement, or with the capacity to contribute to the continuation of a sustainable meat industry, should contact us through the Business Tasmania hotline on phone 1800 440 026 – which is our central contact register.
