RYANS of Portland? The company hopes the old Holden dealership site can be transformed into a depot to support its international customers that move through the port.

General manager Graham Ryan is optimistic the proposal for the Learmonth St site will be welcomed by the Portland community despite some neighbours being apprehensive about a truck depot on their street.
