The local picture

Why business automation is growing in Port Augusta

Port Augusta, at the head of Spencer Gulf, is known as the crossroads of Australia, where highways to Perth, Darwin and the Flinders Ranges meet. Former power stations have given way to solar and renewable energy projects, and the town serves remote communities and travellers.

Transport, energy and community services carry heavy admin. Automation reduces it.
