Port of Dampier Land Use Master Plan 2030

Summary

Overview

The Pilbara Ports Authority operates and manages the Port of Dampier in accordance with the Port Authorities Act 1999 (WA) and the Port Authorities Regulations 2001 (WA). The Port of Dampier Land Use Master Plan 2030 contemplates existing uses and potential future uses of land and infrastructure at the port, along with the movement of freight and cargoes both within and external to the port area. The Port of Dampier is a mature port with limited land available for new developments, and with ageing general cargo infrastructure. Notwithstanding these constraints, opportunities for future growth have been identified.
