Council is seeking Expressions of Interest from suitable applicants who may be interested in leasing the Southern Regional Livestock Exchange (SRLX) at 205 Berrima Road, Moss Vale NSW.

The Southern Regional Livestock Exchange (SRLX) is the Shire’s livestock saleyard which is currently owned and operated by Council.

The facility has recently undergone improvement works to the value of $5.2 million.
