PORT BONYTHON FUELS
Port Bonython Fuels is a 100% held equity by Stuart Petroleum Limited.
Secure diesel supply is a critical element of many industries within South Australia including mining and construction, agriculture, marine, transport and defence. Timely and reliable supplies of fuel are essential for businesses to operate efficiently and effectively. The Port Bonython Fuels project will provide the State with infrastructure that will significantly increase fuel supplies, particularly within the northern and western regions of South Australia, and will result in a new regional fuel supply gateway. Initially the development will have the capacity to import and distribute 500 million litres of diesel fuel annually.
Port Bonython is currently the only suitable deep water port in the Northern region of South Australia that is capable of berthing ships carrying in excess of 100,000 tonnes and offloading hydrocarbon fuels. This provides significant logistical advantages over Port Adelaide, where ships are limited to a maximum of 28,000 tonnes. Port Bonython is located approximately 380kms by road to the north west of Adelaide, and therefore will reduce the environmental pollution and infrastructure demands in the metropolitan area.
The project has been awarded "Crown Sponsored Development" status which indicates the importance the State Government places upon this project. The State Government approved the sale of a 74 hectare parcel of land in May 2009 to Port Bonython Fuels and as at July 2009, the Development Application has been lodged and is currently undergoing the review and approval process.
