Australia’s Oyster Coast has commenced 2026 with positive momentum, announcing the acquisition of an oyster farm in the Pambula estuary on the NSW Far South Coast.
The acquisition marks another considered step in the company’s long-term growth strategy, deepening its geographic footprint and strengthening its Rock Oyster supply capability across NSW. Pambula is a tightly held and highly productive estuary, widely respected for producing premium Sydney Rock Oysters with exceptional flavour.
A natural extension of our Far South Coast operations
The newly acquired farm includes five hectares of oyster leases, two waterfront sheds, a fully serviced land base and associated farming equipment. For Australia’s Oyster Coast, Pambula represents a natural extension of existing Far South Coast operations, adding valuable finishing water and further resilience to the company’s vertically integrated supply base.
Chief Executive Officer Devin Watson said the acquisition reflects steady, disciplined growth built on strong operational fundamentals.
“Pambula is a tightly held, highly productive estuary and a natural extension of our Far South Coast operations. This acquisition strengthens our finishing water, adds resilience to our supply base and supports the steady, disciplined growth we’re building across the business,” Mr Watson said.

Respecting the foundation already in place
Australia’s Oyster Coast acknowledged the work of long-time Pambula oyster farmer Peter Ferguson, who has farmed in the estuary for 15 years and is relocating interstate to be closer to family.
Mr Watson said Mr Ferguson’s care for the farm and the Pambula estuary is evident, and the company is proud to carry forward the strong foundation he has built.
Long-term growth with purpose
The Pambula acquisition follows a period of measured growth for Australia’s Oyster Coast and forms part of a broader trajectory that will see further announcements later in 2026 as the company continues to invest in farming capability, additional farm acquisitions and supply chain resilience.
The acquisition is supported by long-term investment partner Roc Partners, whose backing underpins Australia’s Oyster Coast’s focus on building a resilient, vertically integrated oyster business spanning sustainable farming, processing, branding and market access.
As the business grows, Australia’s Oyster Coast remains focused on lifting standards across farming, processing and supply, supporting regional coastal communities, and delivering quality oysters with clear provenance, from estuary to plate.
