Story
About this place
Tableland mill at Arriga started crushing on 28 June 1998, the first new sugar mill in Queensland in about seventy-five years. Bundaberg Sugar, then part of Tate & Lyle, built it, and Bundaberg Foundry Engineers designed and erected the plant, including a milling train made only of Bundaberg two-roll high-extraction mills. Mareeba–Dimbulah growers had been leaving tobacco and rice and were paying to truck cane to Mossman; the mill was the local works. Until 2013 it made syrup that was finished into raw sugar at other mills, rather than crystal on site. A bagasse power station now stands beside the mill. Built in the 1990s and upgraded with a biomass fired power station in the late 2010s.

Bundaberg Sugar (then a Tate & Lyle subsidiary) agreed to erect the mill; crushing started in June 1998.
Bundaberg Foundry Engineers, now Bundaberg Walkers, provided turnkey design, fabrication and installation of the milling train, process vessels and auxiliary equipment, commissioned in 1998.

Until the 2013 upgrade, Tableland made syrup that was trucked to South Johnstone to be crystallised; this was not true from 1998.
