Jobs at Westport

Westport is the State Government’s planning program to resolve future supply chain constraints in Western Australia by moving container trade from Fremantle to Kwinana. This includes planning a new port, and the connected freight road, rail, and logistics operations.

A preferred design for WA’s future container supply chain has been identified, which includes a new port in Kwinana supported by an upgraded road and rail freight network and logistics hub. The Business Case (Stage 3) was completed in 2024, and the Westport Program is planning now to ensure an orderly transition to the next stage of work, Definition and Delivery (Stage 4), which is expected to last from 2024 to the late 2030’s. Stage 4 will involve the detailed design, procurement, construction and transition toward the proposed container supply chain design.

Westport are working with industry and the community, along with leading experts in engineering, marine science, sustainability, and transport, to define and deliver on the design for the new port.

The Westport Office was created to deliver on this exciting program for WA, which is a multi-disciplinary, contemporary and future-ready workforce governed by a cross-agency Steering Committee.

Westport is in an exciting phase, growing a values-based and outcomes-focused team to deliver on this once-in-a-career opportunity.
