Westport

The State Government has announced the location for WA’s future container port to handle the growing trade task.

As Perth and the surrounding areas grow, container freight traffic has begun to test the capacity of the suburban road and rail networks.

Continued growth will require a new container port and transport links to be developed in Kwinana, near Anketell Road.

The next stages of Westport’s work are critical to ensure that we build further environmental resilience and road corridors are protected to be ready for a future port when it is needed.
