03 Jul Western Australia Announces Port Investments
Western Australia’s 2025-26 State Budget will deliver a $204 million cash injection to further invest in the development and enhancement of WA’s port infrastructure.
The initiatives span numerous geographic locations and include The Port of Fremantle which will receive $88 million for upgrades on the Inner Harbour wharves to facilitate trade ahead of the move to Kwinana.
A further $20.3 million will create a new tug facility at J-Berth on the Victoria Quay side of the port, providing the home and services for the fleet of tugs that manage shipping across the port.
Other investments across the state include: the planning and design of new Berths, the construction of First Point of Entry bio-security infrastructure, permanent barge landings and more.
With WA ports handling more than 50% of Australia’s sea trade volume and over $280 billion worth of trade each year, these investments will further bolster the port infrastructure, especially as trade grows and new demands emerge.
