Arkaroola Bill to go Before SA Parliament

Legislation to ban mining in the environmentally sensitive Arkaroola Sanctuary in South Australia's Flinders Ranges is to be introduced to state parliament.

Premier Mike Rann said the government had proposed a three-step process to protect the area from mining for all time.

This included excluding the area from the state's Mining Act, special legislation to provide protection for the sanctuary, and a bid to have it nominated for world heritage listing.
