The South Australian Government has approved the development of a new export port on the site of a demolished coal-fired power station.
Key points:
Barges will transport commodities from the port to bulk carriers in deeper waters
The local mayor is confident environmental concerns will be kept front of mind
Port Playford will be constructed south of Port Augusta, with the Government touting it as a modern port that will service present and future iron ore projects.
