Description

 â€¢ Summer (DST) ACDT (UTC+10:30) Port Pirie (post code: 5540) (33°11′9″S 138°1′1″E / 33.18583°S 138.01694°E / -33.18583; 138.01694) is the sixth most populous city in South Australia after Adelaide, Mount Gambier, Whyalla, Murray Bridge and Port Augusta. It is a seaport located on the east coast of the Spencer Gulf, 224 kilometres north of Adelaide. The settlement was founded in 1845 and is the site of the world's largest lead smelter, operated by Nyrstar.[1] It also produces refined silver, zinc, copper and gold.

Development

A new $3.3 million cultural precinct is being built in the city by the Port Pirie Regional Council in partnership with the Federal Government. A committee is also looking at building a multi-purpose stadium. The swimming pool is now state of the art after receiving a $1 million refit. Plans are underway to establish a large shopping complex in the city with an additional supermarket and department store. The cities population is continually growing and property prices continue to rise. The Port Pirie Regional Council has a number of large projects that will be launched or completed next financial year.

Geography

Port Pirie is at an elevation of 4 metres above sea level. It is located approximately 8 km inland, on the Pirie River, which is a tidal saltwater inlet from Spencer Gulf. It is located on the coastal plain between Spencer Gulf (to the east) and the Flinders Ranges to the west.

History

Prior to European settlement, the location that became Port Pirie was occupied by the indigenous tribe of Nukunu. The location was called 'Tarparrie', which is suspected to mean "Muddy Creek". The first European to see the location was Matthew Flinders in 1802 as he explored the Spencer Gulf by boat. The first land discovery by settlers of the location was by the explorer Edward Eyre who explored regions around Port Augusta. John Horrocks also discovered a pass through the Flinders Ranges to the coast, now named Horrock Pass. The town was originally called Samuel's Creek after the discovery of Muddy Creek by Samuel Germein. In 1846, Port Pirie Creek was named by Governor Robe after the John Pirie, the first vessel to navigate the creek when transporting sheep from Bowman's Run near Crystal Brook. In 1848 Matthew Smith and Emanuel Solomon bought 85 acres (34 ha) and subdivided it as a township to be known as Port Pirie. The government town was surveyed in December 1871 by Charles Hope Harris. The thoroughfares and streets were named after the family of George Goyder, Surveyor General of South Australia, with the streets running parallel and at right angles to the river. In 1873 the land of Solomon and Smith was re-surveyed and named Solomontown. On 28 September 1876, Port Pirie was declared a municipality, with a population of 947. The smelter was built in 1889, and it became the biggest lead smelter in the world by 1934, primarily due to the presence of the Broken Hill Associated Smelters (BHAS). Originally established in 1915, the smelter processed lead and zinc ore from Broken Hill. Port Pirie was declared South Australia's first provincial city in 1953, and today it is South Australia's second largest port. It is characterised by a gracious main street and some interesting and unusual historic buildings.[3]

Industry

The main industries are the smelting of metals, and the operation of silos to hold grain. The silos have been closed.[citation needed]This popularity has earned the locals an unflattering nick-name "Lead-Head" for the high of every citizen. Port Pirie's main employer is Nyrstar Limited, which operates the largest lead smelter/refinery in the southern hemisphere.[1] A lead smelter has been operating in Port Pirie since the 1880s, and high blood lead levels in the local population are an ongoing concern.[citation needed] The Stack, which can be seen miles away, is 205 metres tall, and is the tallest structure in the state.[citation needed] In 2006 Zinifex formed a joint venture with Umicore to create Nyrstar, which owns the smelter, with the intention that it would eventually be an entity separate from the parent companies.[10][11] Flinders Industrial, a new industrial estate, is currently[when?] in its second stage and is planned to be home to the new council depot.[when?] There are plans are to build a sulphuric acid plant for the benefit of the Nyrstar Smelter, but this project has been shelved and deemed not feasible.[citation needed] Lead smelters contribute to several environmental problems, especially raised blood lead levels in some of the town population. The problem is particularly significant in many children who have grown up in the area. There is a government project to address this.[12] Nyrstar plans to progressively reduce lead in blood levels such that ultimately 95% of all children meet the national goal of 10 micrograms per decilitre. This has been known as the tenby10 project. Community lead in blood levels in children are now at less than half the level that they were in the mid 1980s.[13] Higher concentrations of lead have been found in the organs of bottlenose dolphins stranded near the lead smelter, compared to dolphins stranded elsewhere in South Australia.[14] The health impacts of these metals on dolphins has been examined and some associations between high metal concentrations and kidney toxicity were noted.[15] Port Pirie is also a hole.

Railways

The first railways in Port Pirie were of the narrow [3' 6"] gauge.[5] From 1938 to 1970, Port Pirie had the distinction of being a break-of-gauge railway junction between railways of three different gauges: * 3' 6" to Broken Hill. * 4' 8½" to Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (trans-continental 'Indian Pacific' service). * 5' 3" to Adelaide. The original railway station was in Ellen Street, with firstly narrow gauge, then additionally broad gauge, tracks running down the centre of the street from 1875 to 1967.[6] Between 1960 and 1980, Port Pirie had a bogie exchange between standard and broad gauge tracks. In 1970, the line from Port Pirie to Broken Hill was converted to standard gauge. The change created new three-gauge stations at Gladstone and Peterborough. In 1982, the line to Adelaide was also converted to standard gauge, and Port Pirie became a single gauge station. Changes to the National railway system made the Port Pirie platform redundant and in 1992 the baggage room was converted to an Art Gallery. In 1994 a major refurbishment was undertaken and the Regional Tourism and Arts Centre was created. It now includes an Art Gallery, an award winning tourism centre, a bus terminal, a Training Restaurant housed in an old sleeper car and a model Train track 1 kilometre in length showing the trip from Port Pirie to Broken Hill. The Great Southern Railway trains, The Ghan and the Indian Pacific still stop at Port Pirie, although at a halt in the suburb of Coonamia, some 5 km outside of the centre of the town, which avoids a reversal of direction. There are two services for each train each week in each direction.

According to the 2006 Census, the population of the Port Pirie census area was 13,206 people. Approximately 51.8% of the population were female, 86.9% are Australian born, over 92.7% of residents are Australian citizens and only 2.6% were native born indigenous people. The most popular industries for employment were Basic Non-Ferrous Metal Manufacturing (9.7%), School Education (6%), Hospitality (only including hotels) (11%),[citation needed] Health (5.4%) and Animal Husbandry (4%), while the unemployment rate is approx. 11%. The median weekly household income is AUD$608 or more per week, compared with $924 in Adelaide. 27.1% of the population identify themselves as Catholic, while 23.7% identify with no religion at all.[4]

State & Federal

The results shown are from "Port Pirie West", the largest polling booth in Port Pirie, which is located at the SA TAFE Campus. Port Pirie is part of the federal division of Grey, and has been represented by Liberal MP Rowan Ramsey since 2007. Grey is held with a margin of 8.86% and is considered a safe Liberal seat. The city is part of the state electoral district of Frome, which had been held since 1993 by former Liberal Premier, Rob Kerin, with a margin of 6.8%. It also has been considered a safe Liberal seat. In late 2008 Rob Kerin announced his retirement, which led to a by-election being held in January 2009. It was expected that the Liberals would retain the seat, until Port Pirie Regional Council Mayor Geoff Brock announced he would join the election campaign as an independent.[citation needed] After the poll for the by-election had closed and first preferences had been counted, (but before other preferences had been distributed), the result was Lib: 39.2%; ALP: 26.1%; Brock 23.6%; Nat: 6.6%; Greens: 3.8%; Other: 0.7%.[19][20] State Opposition Leader Martin Hamilton-Smith (Liberal Party) (prematurely) claimed victory.[21] Distribution of National, Greens and other preferences placed Brock ahead of the ALP candidate. Hence with the assistance of the ALP candidate's preferences, Geoff Brock won the by-election 51.7% to 48.3% for the Liberal candidate.[19][20]

Waterfront development

The PPRC, with the State Government, are creating a waterfront which will revitalise the area from the Main Road boat ramp up to the area off Ellen street. Plans are to build parks, bikeways, bistros, a large playground (largely funded by Zinifex) and retail areas. The development has already started and is estimated to cost nearly $3m, but the development has been delayed.[citation needed]
