A bold new chapter in regional automotive excellence has arrived with the opening of the Port Lincoln Prestige Development at 16–22 Mortlock Terrace. This impressive, purpose-built facility brings together four of the most respected vehicle brands — Ford, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and RAM — under one roof, delivering a state-of-the-art destination for local motorists and an exciting investment in the future of Port Lincoln.
The launch marks a significant milestone for a business that has been part of the Eyre Peninsula’s fabric for decades. Evolving from humble beginnings as a small regional dealership, the business has grown alongside the Port Lincoln community — proudly servicing generations of families, supporting hundreds of local jobs, and maintaining a deep commitment to excellence in customer care.
Developed in collaboration with Mossop Construction + Interiors, the new facility was thoughtfully designed to meet the demands of modern motoring while enhancing the streetscape of Mortlock Terrace. The expansive, light-filled showrooms, advanced servicing capabilities, and considered architectural elements reflect a bold vision for regional development — one that is efficient, functional, and built to last.
“This project was more than just bricks and mortar — it was about delivering a space that respects the past and builds for the future,” said Neil Mossop. “Working with a business so deeply embedded in Port Lincoln’s history made this development particularly meaningful.”
The construction project itself has already delivered real benefits to the local economy. More than 143 workers were inducted during the project, with over 19,000 hours worked on site — a testament to the scale and complexity of the build and the commitment to using South Australian expertise and trades.
Linh Bui, CEO of One SMG, said “This development is a statement of confidence in the future of Port Lincoln. It’s about supporting jobs, backing local suppliers, and creating a destination that brings economic and social value to the region.”
Port Lincoln Mayor Diana Mislov welcomed the new development as a sign of Port Lincoln’s growing strength.
“I’m proud to see this level of private investment and confidence in our region. The Port Lincoln Prestige Development reflects the momentum building in our city and the bright future ahead for our local economy and community.”
The community is warmly invited to explore the new facility, with an official opening event on Saturday 31st May from 9am and family-friendly celebrations planned to mark the occasion. Visitors can look forward to giveaways, test drives, special launch promotions, and the opportunity to tour the landmark development first-hand.
