Tourism plays an important role in Port Augusta’s future—it supports local jobs and services, strengthens our economy, and helps visitors understand what makes our town unique. With thoughtful planning, it can continue to bring real benefits to our community.

As we develop the Port Augusta Tourism Development Strategy 2025–2030, we want to hear from you. Whether you’re a resident, worker, business owner, or visitor, your insights will help shape a tourism future that reflects local priorities and aspirations.

Why it matters:
This strategy will guide how Port Augusta promotes its story, manages visitor experiences, and grows a sustainable and inclusive visitor economy. It’s about:
• Creating authentic and meaningful tourism experiences
• Enhancing local wellbeing and community pride
• Supporting jobs, events, and cultural connection
• Balancing visitor appeal with local priorities
