Title deeds show Mr Hodges paid $3.7 million for the Stroud Road free-range egg farm, which lies about 82 kilometres northwest of Newcastle.
The Stroud Road free-range egg farm.
He also paid an undisclosed price for the operating business.
The 78.5-hectare freehold property, plant, machinery and egg supply contract was put up for sale in 2019 by the Lawrence family.
The Lawrence family acquired what was then a meat chicken farm (where the chickens are grown for their meat, as opposed to laying eggs). In 2014, it spent $1.6 million converting it into an egg farm. It was sold to wind up the family partnership.
OFFICERS are appealing for information about a sexual assault which is reported to have taken place in Gloucester earlier this month. Police were called last Wednesday (19 May) with a report that a teenage girl had been sexually assaulted by a teenage boy the week before. The girl stated that the incident took place in an alleyway linking Stroud Road and Parry Road on the evening of Tuesday 11 May, between about 8pm and 9pm, and that she had previously met up with the offender. Investigating officers have been reviewing CCTV footage from the area. They are now appealing for anyone who was in the area on the evening and may have witnessed anything suspicious to come forward.
