A farmer-led co-operative has won an expression of interest process to operate on Dairy Road in Fyshwick, creating a "local food precinct" with the possibility of greenhouses, a retail store and cafe or restaurant being built on the site.
Southern NSW Harvest Cooperative won the right to licence the land, with the "farmer-led member cooperative" already having a presence on the site.
The outcome has angered the volunteer-run Canberra City Farm which has also been operating on the Dairy Road land since 2015 but was unsuccessful in the expression of interest process and has now been told to leave the site by October.
