From day one of operating, Cape Hardy will provide competition, choice and lower transport costs – all of which deliver better value for money for grain producers - https://t.co/KOUbvSsUXZ
With future capacity for Capesize vessels, Cape Hardy has the potential to be the only port of its kind between Esperance and Port Kembla, putting South Australia on an international footing. It’s an investment in a strong, diverse EP economy - https://t.co/KOUbvSKwmz

We've had a great week on the EP engaging with growers in a series of EPCBH meetings to talk about the #CapeHardy port project - hear from #Portalis Chair Rob Kerin. #epag
EPCBH ownership in the Cape Hardy port project will provide substantial economic benefits to growers through member discounts for each tonne of grain delivered and distributions from the project.
There’s no minimum tonnage requirement in #CapeHardy’s grower supply agreements. Instead, EPCBH members nominate a percentage of their annual production to be exported through the port. Come to our next round of grower meetings, details at https://t.co/ldrjCHFsIE

Upon opening in 2023, Cape Hardy will be a grain focussed export terminal aiming to ship at least 1.3 million tonnes of EP product to domestic and global markets. The port will also help unlock future opportunities for a variety of other EP commodity producers.
Great to see so many passionate EP growers at our grower update meetings this week to learn more about the opportunity to become partners in the #capehardy port development. Further sessions planned mid Feb, head to our website to find a meeting near you https://t.co/AK3d3xxYSI
Did you know? Portalis has received a $25m funding commitment from the Federal Government and is the only South Australian project currently listed on Infrastructure Australia’s Priority List. Construction is due to commence in late 2021 with an open date of early 2023.
Keep an eye out here and on our website (https://t.co/KOUbvSsUXZ) in the coming weeks for detail about our upcoming grower information sessions taking place across the Eyre Peninsula.
Protecting local flora and fauna is critical consideration in the development of the Cape Hardy port. The port will be in naturally deep water with no dredging required and the jetty and wharf structure have been designed to avoid areas of seagrass.
As the EP diversifies its exports, commodity producers will need a way to take their product to the world. The Cape Hardy port project is a $250 million investment in a stronger, more diverse EP economy from 2023 and beyond – https://t.co/KOUbvSKwmz
“…a deep-water, multi-commodity port at Cape Hardy creates enormous opportunities for the Eyre Peninsula and a legacy for future generations…”
Portalis Project Chair Rob Kerin.
Grain growers are the lifeblood of the EP. The $250m Cape Hardy Stage 1 project is a vote of confidence in the region’s growers, offering competition, choice, lower transport costs and a chance to share in the growth of the EP – https://t.co/KOUbvSKwmz
