City of Port Augusta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The City of Port Augusta is the local government area at the northern end of Spencer Gulf in South Australia. It is centred on the town of Port Augusta. In late 1964 Port Augusta reached City status.

Port Augusta is a natural crossroads and aborigines have been trading in the area for 40 000 years. European settlement began in the 1840s. The town grew from a pastoral service centre to a railway town with the construction of the overland telegraph line, then the commencement of the railways towards Alice Springs and Kalgoorlie.

Another major industry now is the production of electric power, with three coal-fired power stations burning coal mined at Leigh Creek. The first of these was completed in 1954.

The city council area is bordered to the north and west by non-council areas administered by the Outback Areas Community Development Trust. To the south west by the City of Whyalla, and to the east by Flinders Ranges Council and District Council of Mount Remarkable.
