South Australia grants building exemptions to boost grain storage during bumper harvest
The South Australian government is granting building exemptions so the state can store grain from its record harvest. The crop is now seen as potentially reaching 14 million tonnes.
The government of South Australia, a grain-producing state in Australia, is granting building exemptions so that grain from this season's record harvest can be stored. The aim is to ensure enough storage is available while the harvest delivers a very large volume.
According to the source, the state's harvest is now seen as having the potential to reach 14 million tonnes. A crop of that size puts pressure on existing grain storage capacity, so the state government is allowing storage infrastructure to be expanded by applying exemptions to normal building requirements.
The source text gives no further detail on which exemptions are being applied, which facilities they cover, or how much new storage capacity is planned.
