Two parcels of land within the City of Whyalla have been placed outside of the local government area into the unincorporated area of South Australia. These are parts of False Bay and Whyalla Barson both associated with the Whyalla Steelworks and the east end of Mullaquana. These parcels of land are considered by the Government of South Australia to be "strategically important to the state" due to their role in the production cycle of steel.DPTI, 2012, page 12DPTI, 2015, pages 207 & 208

Economy The City of Whyalla local government area is based primarily around Whyalla, a town covering 41.5 km2, which holds the vast majority of the district's population. The district's economy is heavily reliant on the Whyalla Steelworks and associated companies located in Whyalla. To lesser extent, Whyalla is also a focal point for the surrounding agricultural areas.
