ACT Food Hub Feasibility Study

BySustain Team

This project explored the feasibility of what would be required to establish an ACT Food Hub that
services the Canberra region. After reviewing experience elsewhere, the project conceptualised the role the ACT Food Hub might play, how it might be established and operated, and assessed how it might perform from financial and risk perspectives to inform future planning.

Sustain partnered with SGS Economics and Planning to deliver an evidence based Food Hub Feasibility Study for ACT Government, supporting Phase 2 of the Canberra Region Local Food Strategy. Using desktop research, stakeholder engagement, and options analysis, the project tested practical models for an ACT food hub and identified the most viable pathway forward. Recommendations were grounded in Sustain’s expertise in food systems governance and community-led design, building on prior food hub feasibility studies in Victoria and Western Australia
