Cannaponics Shares Progress and New Developments in Collie
Members of the Rotary Club of Collie attended the recent Chamber of Commerce Business Connection event featuring an update from Cannaponics, one of Collie’s most dynamic and rapidly developing enterprises. Rod Zakostelsky, the Founder and CEO, provided a comprehensive overview of the company’s progress, community investment, and future plans.
Production Now Underway
Rod confirmed that the Cannaponics medicinal cannabis facility is now officially in production, marking a major milestone for the project. He outlined the strict regulatory framework governing the industry, including:
- Highly controlled growing environments
- Medical‑grade quality assurance
- Security and compliance requirements
- Federal and state oversight
Attendees raised several questions about the cultivation and processing of medicinal cannabis. Rod addressed these openly, emphasising that Cannaponics operates under rigorous legal and medical standards, with all products destined for approved therapeutic use. His clear explanations helped demystify the industry and reinforce the professionalism behind the operation.
Revitalising the Club Hotel
Cannaponics also shared updates on their redevelopment of the Club Hotel Collie, which has undergone significant renovation since its acquisition. The revitalised hotel now offers:
- Modernised accommodation

This restoration has breathed new life into a historic Collie landmark and contributed to increased local activity.
New Project: “Your Storage Collie” — Premium Shed Lots for Enthusiasts

The project will provide:
