PORT NOARLUNGA
Jewels have many facets that are cut carefully to bring out the best of their qualities. I have summarised some of the many facets of Port Noarlunga and surrounding area which I believe with careful strategic planning Port Noarlunga can be promoted to form a Jewel Destination for South Australia and increase the number of local, national and international visitors, to the Fleurieu Peninsular Region, and encourage the length of their stay, and lead to increased economic benefit to the region and state.
