A Gympie macadamia business has resurrected years-old plans as part of a push to put the region back on the nut map.
Gympie Farm Services has lodged an application for a new nut handling facility at East Deep Creek, a development it said would put the region back at the forefront of an industry it had helped make thrive.
“Although Gympie region was an early champion of expanding the macadamia industry in Australia it has been left behind by other regions,” the company said in its application to the council.
“We believe that the region has the potential to grow and this facility will encourage this.”
