The Westport final report outlines long-term solutions for Perth’s future freight needs. The final report has recommended a land-backed port be built within the Kwinana Industrial Area.
Work will now proceed to determine the timetable of transitioning freight from Fremantle Port to Kwinana.
Westport Program Strategy
To guide the next phase of work, Westport released its Program Strategy which sets a roadmap for Stage 3 work.
This important document includes Westport’s vision, key objectives, values and how Westport is planning for Western Australia’s future. The Strategy guides Westport’s priorities in planning for a future port in Kwinana, and paints a tangible narrative of what Program success will look like.

Westport-update - Perth’s future container port
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.
