Commercial opportunities in the Coffin Bay industrial area are few and far between.
Oyster growers tend to hold onto their properties and there are very few other businesses in this area.
1 Martindale is the exception.
Currently operating as a transport business, the owners have out grown the space and are relocating to larger premises out of town.
This 2,687 m2 allotment was originally purchased by the owners in 2004 and was developed for the long term.
The improvements of almost 400m2 of shed and office space were constructed for a variety of functions in mind.
Drainage and EPA considerations allowed for Oyster farmers.
Retail use was approved and the structure generally was built to allow for a variety of uses.
Miscellaneous improvements include 2 x 22500L rainwater tanks, an 8000L above ground diesel tank, 3 phase 30cuft compressor, a variety of steel shelving and miscellaneous benches.
This is a property that in reality is probably now below the cost of building a similar facility here in Coffin Bay. An oyster farmer with expansion in mind or boat storage, service and maintenance are two uses that come to mind.
