South Australia's government relaxed planning rules to allow temporary grain storage to be installed quickly without development approval. The change mainly helps Bunge, which needed up to 10 sites, including Thevenard.
It aims to prevent about A$70 million of grain from spoiling if storage runs short during a harvest estimated at 13-14 million tonnes, above previous records.
A record Australian harvest with tight storage could pressure local cash grain prices and export availability. Easing storage bottlenecks should help the crop move to market, which limits the premium for prompt supplies.
