Historical information

The Midland Saleyards were opened in 1911 eastward of the Railway workshops. In 1986, the Government sold Midland Saleyards and the adjacent abattoir out of government to Prestige Bricks, and the Saleyards was leased back to the Western Australian Meat Commission at a peppercorn rent. Midland Saleyards continued to operate until 2010, following the opening of a new saleyard in Muchea.
