The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission today announced that it would not oppose the proposed sale of bulk handling facilities at various ports in South Australia to South Australian Co-operative Bulk Handling (SACBH).
The South Australian Government advised the ACCC of its intention to offer SACBH the first right of purchase of the facilities (which are primarily used for the bulk loading of grain onto ships for export).
Legislative arrangements are proposed by the South Australian Government to provide reasonable access to the facilities for all current and potential users, together with a framework to safeguard competition and establish a workable procedure for resolving disputes.
Such an approach would preserve competition and protect the interests of users.
