The Richardson Road site last sold in 1987 for $1.52 million.
In 2020, the land was valued at $1.3 million. The facility sits on 1.6ha.
Knight Frank Rockhampton’s Neale Crow, representing the sale, said it was a significant offering given the size and the location.
“It’s a big facility on 4.79 hectares in the middle of Rockhampton, up to 5000sqm of space, there’s a fair bit of warehousing opportunity on a low impact zoning,” he said.
Mr Crow said the site had been sitting vacant since the closure while the liquidators had been going through the appropriate processes.
In the few days the facility has been on the market, Mr Crow said he had already received a handful of enquiries.
