AU: Contract secured for salad facility
Based on OneHarvest’s brief, Wiley created an early concept design for the multi-million dollar project, located in Smeaton Grange, Camden, and managed the design and development application approvals.
The facility will supply supermarkets on the eastern seaboard with a wide variety of salad products made from leafy ingredients including spinach, lettuce, rocket, kale, and many other vegetables in stand-alone products, as well as mixes and salad kits. The majority of these products will be sold under the supermarkets’ own private labels.
OneHarvest Managing Director Sam Robson said: “We are pleased to contract Wiley to design and construct our new facility, which will service the expanding fresh cut salad market. This project will enable OneHarvest to service the largest market for pre-packaged salads in the country with fresher product, owing to the facility being closer to the freeway network and our retail customers’ points of distribution.
“Consumers will benefit from being able to purchase fresher, higher quality product that lasts longer once they take it home. OneHarvest will also be able to meet its growing need for increased capacity, particularly in the peak summer trading period.”
With early works including earthworks, civil works, and drainage now underway on site this project is planned for completion by October next year.
