Winfield is one of two established macadamia orchards situated on 1512ha in Bundaberg that have been put up for sale and marketed by the Colliers Agribusiness team.

Bundaberg region macadamia orchards encompassing 1512ha at Winfield and Miara are for sale, and according to their marketing agents, attracting international interest.

The two properties at 97 Rocky Point Road, Winfield, and Miara Road, Miara, are for sale either together or separately and marketed by the Colliers Agribusiness team of Rawdon Briggs, Nicholas Warmington and Jimmy Ashleigh.

Colliers Head of Agribusiness Rawdon Briggs said there was “already strong domestic and international interest in the properties due to their ideal location in a world-renowned horticulture and macadamia producing region of Bundaberg”.

“A combination of increasing demand for food security and consumer appetite for healthy foods has underpinned strong growth in commodity prices and agricultural land prices,” Mr Briggs said.

Winfield is one of two established macadamia orchards situated on 1512ha in Bundaberg that have been put up for sale and marketed by the Colliers Agribusiness team.

“This portfolio includes two properties, Winfield and Miara, with 480ha dedicated to macadamia orchards as well as 48ha of vacant plantable land, which provides a prime opportunity to further develop the orchard.”

Colliers Agribusiness Executive Nicholas Warmington said “there had been a trend towards macadamia in the Bundaberg region, with many former cane farmers changing to orchards”.

“Australia’s macadamia industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing global demand and expanding into emerging markets, particularly into Asia. This trend promises robust opportunities for Australian producers,” Mr Warmington said.

Winfield is one of two established macadamia orchards situated on 1512ha in Bundaberg that have been put up for sale and marketed by the Colliers Agribusiness team.

Winfield Orchard is the larger of the two orchards at 750ha, with a total tree count of 68,730, and recently underwent significant rejuvenation, including strategic limb and row removal and irrigation upgrades, the Colliers statement said.

“ The orchard has shown significant yield improvements over the past five years, with an experienced management team, producing 1043 tonnes of macadamias in 2024. With 48ha of vacant plantable land, there is a prime opportunity to further develop the orchard. Given that this land has previously supported macadamia trees, its suitability for such cultivation is well-established. The trees on Winfield were planted between 1991 and 2007 with the average age of trees being 26.

Miara is one of two established macadamia orchards situated on 1512ha in Bundaberg that have been put up for sale and marketed by the Colliers Agribusiness team.

“Miara Orchard spans 762ha and is in its growth phase, with 33,703 trees planted across 124.97ha between 2020 and 2022.

“In 2024, the orchard yielded 13.9 tonnes of produce. As the young trees continue to mature, it is expected a significant increase in production in the coming years. It boasts an advanced irrigation system, including the MAIT automated control, supports efficient water management and increased production as the trees mature.

“With Miara located 27 radial kilometres and Winfield 50 radial kilometres from Bundaberg, the orchards benefit from easy access and efficient logistics with proximity to major transport hubs, including ports and highways, ensuring seamless distribution to both domestic and international markets.”
