Myponie Point has been a prospective port site since 2002, when adjacent land was acquired by a syndicate of farmers and later the
Australian Wheat Board for the purpose of developing new grain export facilities. Such facilities were never constructed. In the 2010s, Myponie Point was selected by the
Braemar Alliance as their preferred location for an offshore floating port to facilitate future mineral exports. The project was declared a Major Project by the
Government of South Australia in 2013. The project is intended to provide an export pathway for bulk commodities from developing mines located between
Peterborough (SA) and
Broken Hill (NSW). Prior to its identification as a prospective port site, Myponie Point was occasionally visited by local scouting groups. == References ==
