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.
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.
