The Upper Spencer Gulf region has, for decades, been a significant economic contributor to South Australia and the nation, through its natural mineral resources and industrial outputs.
This document showcases opportunities for current and future investors, and all industry sectors, to benefit from the region’s evolution. There has never been a better time to live, work and invest in the Upper Spencer Gulf, and I encourage all to come and be part of its exciting future.

The survey captured information on current needs and how these needs are being met along with the potential needs during various phases of the projects (Planning, Early Construction, Mid-Construction, Near Completion) and then Ongoing Needs.
