Eyre Peninsula desalination plant moves a step closer as potential sites chosen – Australia After years of deliberation and community backlash, four possible sites for a proposed desalination plant on the Eyre Peninsula have been selected. The Site Selection Committee, an independent group of 20 local leaders and industry figures, has shortlisted Sleaford West, Point Boston, Shoal Point and the site originally chosen in 2020 at Sleaford Bay. A detailed assessment of each site will now be undertaken, however, this does not mean Billy Lights Point, the site originally chosen that caused controversy, has been taken off the table altogether.
