Pilbara Ports Authority has announced that the Australian government will invest A$565 million to expand the export and import capacity at Port Hedland.
The expansion will unlock trade and investment opportunities and create hundreds of new jobs.
Part of this funding will enable the expansion of Lumsden Point in the Port of Port Hedland, in partnership with the Western Australian government, which is contributing A$96.5 million to the project.
“The Pilbara has been at the heart of our nation's economic strength for decades, generating wealth for the entire country and supporting thousands of jobs across Western Australia,” Mark McGowan, Western Australian premier, said.
