The Stanley Cool Stores Board was established under the Stanley Cool Stores Act 1945, with responsibility for the 'management and control of certain cool stores erected at Stanley, and for matters incidental thereto'. The Principal Act has been subsequently amended in certain areas, but its original intent has not changed. The Board traded under its own name.;;The core business of the Board was to lease and/or license the use of refrigerated cool store space in support of regional enterprise development. Following the State Government's announcement of its intention to sell the Stanley Cool Stores, a divestment steering committee was formed. The Government, via authority provided by section 7 of the Government Business Enterprises (Sale) Act 2003, signed a sale agreement with Rocktas Investment Limited to sell the business as a going concern on 20 November 2003 with a completion date of 10 December 2003. All assets and liabilities of the Board were sold with the exception of those that were specifically excluded. ;;The Responsible Minister was the Minister for Primary Industries and Water;;
