Bolstering the competitive edge of South Australia’s flagship port.
In the 2000s, Adelaide’s Outer Harbour was selected for redevelopment and modernization to drive South Australia’s competitive edge both nationally and internationally. This was a major commitment by the South Australia (SA) government to develop the port as an export and import destination of choice in southern Australia, catapulting the Harbor into the global stage as a port of significanct importance.

These ports were Port Adelaide, Port Lincoln, Port Pirie, Thevenard, Port Giles, Wallaroo and Klein Point, known collectively as the Flinders Ports. The flinders Ports were the largest port owner and operator in the state.
