Geraldton Port Maximisation Project
Overview
The Mid West Ports Authority is proposing marine infrastructure upgrades at the Port of Geraldton. The Proposal has a disturbance footprint of up to 38 hectares (ha), of which 17 ha is a new footprint and 21 ha the existing port, within a 75 ha development envelope.
The Proposal is a significant amendment to the Geraldton Port Enhancement Project and Preparatory Works for the Town Beach Foreshore Redevelopment (Original Proposal) (Ministerial statement 600), and consists of:
- dredging and land reclamation using dredge spoil
- piling
- installation of a breakwater extending north from the existing port footprint.
Marine infrastructure includes:
- new wharf deck related to new Berth 1 (relocated) and Berth 8/9
- extension of the existing Berth 6 wharf
- new (relocated) tug harbour.
Implementation of the Proposal does not result in a throughput increase.
