The Murray Bridge Airport is in the southeast of the locality of Pallamana. Another airfield named Rollo's Airfield (ICAO: YRLO) is on the western side of Pallamana.[4]

Solar farm proposal

[edit]

RES Australia proposed to build a solar farm with up to 176 MW capacity and a battery storage facility at Pallamana, south of the Murray Bridge airport, on a 730 hectares (1800 acres) open farmland site. Construction was to start in 2020[5] but as of December 2023 work had not started.[6]
