New
Industries for Today
Today petroleum, oil and gas are major industries in our Shire
Oil production is rapidly being overtaken by the production of natural
gas.
The Ballera Gas Centre is linked to Moomba
in South Australia, and together they supply Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney
and shortly will supply Brisbane, Gladstone and Mt Isa, with gas produced
from the Cooper Basin.
A Town Planning scheme has been gazetted for the whole of the Shire. This will guide development. The plan is designed to be accommodating and flexible with regard to the establishment of businesses considered desirable for the Town. Land is available for commercial purposes and is generally very inexpensive to purchase. Shop space is available for lease at the present time.
