The South Australian Government is providing a $12 million loan to Hallett Group Pty Ltd for its $200 million Green Cement Transformation Project in Port Augusta. The project aims to repurpose the former Northern Power Station site into infrastructure hubs for green cement production using waste by-products.

The initiative is expected to create 150 construction jobs and 50 ongoing positions. The project is part of a broader $2.5 billion investment in energy-related projects in the region. Construction is set to start by the end of the year, with a focus on reducing cement production emissions by 30%. The Federal Government has also contributed a $20 million grant.
