Reported at www.abc.net.au: The state and federal governments of Australia announced a combined investment of $30 million to upgrade the Whyalla airport and an additional $3.14 million for a long-awaited foreshore development in the struggling town of Whyalla.

These funding efforts aim to make the city more attractive, create jobs, and boost the local economy, especially in light of recent job losses at the local steelworks.

Concerns remain about the ongoing economic challenges facing Whyalla.
