The proposal is to expand the Dampier port facilities including:

• the improvement and extension of the current Dampier Cargo Wharf;
• the construction of a new jetty and associated shipping infrastructure; and
• the dredging, loading and disposal of up to 4.5 million cubic metres (m³) of sediments to the Northern Spoil Ground and East Lewis Island Spoil Ground from the deepening of the harbour area and the associated approach channel.
