Portland Observer

Portland is located around a deep-water port and is the major urban city in the Glenelg Shire, offering a unique balance of business and tourism. Key sectors include manufacturing, timber and forestry, fishing and aquaculture, agriculture, engineering, viticulture and horticulture.

The Portland region is developing alternative energy with new wind farms under construction. Artesian bores supply abundant fresh water to the city. While the natural geothermal (hot) water is not being presently used, studies are now underway to evaluate its practical reintroduction. Major works are taking place in the harbour with the relocation and refurbishment of mooring facilities. The Portland Observer & Guardian is the state’s oldest non-daily newspaper and since 1842 has provided a vital link within the community. Published every Friday.

The Portland Observer is also online at portlandobserver.com.au
