Notable enterprises

Prime City cattle feedlot

Prime City is a feedlot which was originally developed in the mid 1990s by Australian Meat Holdings. The feedlot has since been acquired by JBS, who use the facility to produce grain fed beef for the beef processing plant in Toowoomba. The feedlot was shut down in 2012, affecting 63 employees at the time.[2] However, JBS re-opened the facility in late 2014, influenced by recent feedlot operations expansions at the Yanco facility.[3]

GrainCorp

GrainCorp formerly operated a grain receival site in Tabbita. It was closed down in 2014, along with more than 60 other sites which were also closed in western New South Wales around the same time.[4]

Infrastructure

Post office

Tabbita Post Office opened on 1 October 1927 and closed in 1974.[5]

Train station

The Tabbita train station, situated along the Temora–Roto railway line, was established on 18 June 1923, and closed on 4 May 1975.[6]

Telecommunications
