Port Stephens Port Opening Advocated by MP
Port Stephens should be opened and the city state owned, urged by Mr W C Thompson before the Public Works Committee in Tamworth. He argued that even if foreshores were alienated, the current unimproved value of £72,000 would justify compulsory resumption. He cited Canberra’s rental returns and warned the £40,000 annual Pindimar Morpeth railway interest would pale next to future port rental profits funding improvements.
