Work's already underway on the whole farm design at Moltema near Deloraine, and it's expected the milk will start flowing through the rotary system before the end of this year.
FutureDairy project research leader, Kendra Kerrisk, says the new dairy will be able to milk 500 to 600 cows in a voluntary cow traffic system.
"This one's pretty exciting because over the last two years we've been working on a robotic rotary which is tailored to Australian herds, which is really exciting because it suits Australian conditions. We are expecting the price to be comparable to conventional milking."
