Wallack Terrace Stormwater Construction Works
Traffic restrictions and detours are in place on Wallack Terrace whilst storm water construction work is occurring. It is envisaged that the works will take approximately 5-6 weeks depending on weather conditions.
We ask for patience and understanding whilst the work is occurring and for commuters to consider using alternate roads where possible.
GFG Rail Contract
The good news continues to roll in for Whyalla, this time with GFG Alliance securing a long-term rail contract worth nearly $300m. Mayor Clare McLaughlin welcomed the announcement, stating “this is further great news and just reward for the tireless efforts of GFG Alliance’s Whyalla team. To have been awarded such a significant, long-term contract is testament to the quality product the local workforce can produce and is another sign of the strengthening future of the operations.”
