Port Hedland AREA PLANNING STUDY Foreword Port Hedland is one of the Pilbara’s most historic and colourful towns. The townsite as we know it was established by European settlers in 1896 as a service centre for the pastoral, goldmining and pearling industries, although the area has been home to Aboriginal people for many thousands of years. In the 1960s Port Hedland experienced a major growth period, as a direct result of the emerging iron ore industry.

  • Attachment 13
    Appendix 13 Executive Summary ‘The modern world is built on steel which has become essential to economic growth. In developing and developed nations alike, steel is an indispensable part of life … The future growth in demand for steel will be driven mainly by the needs of the developing world.’1 Note: 87% of all world metals consumed are iron and steel. Australia is rich in natural resources. Among the key resources in abundance are iron ore and thermal and coking coal; the key feedstock for steel. Queensland has an abundance of coal, while Western Australia has an abundance of iron ore. Australia has a small population with limited steel production, so these resources are shipped internationally to be used as inputs to steel production. Strong growth in raw steel production and consumption, driven by the rapid industrialisation of China and India in particular, is expected to continue. This will necessitate substantial investment in new global steelmaking capacity. Australia plays a significant leading role in the export steelmaking supply-chain as it has an estimated 40% of the world’s high grade seaborne iron ore and 65% of the world’s seaborne coking coal. Project Iron Boomerang was developed by East West Line Parks Pty Ltd (“EWLP”) to explore the economic feasibility of establishing first-stage steel mill semi-finished steel production in Australia, close to the major raw materials inputs. This Pre-Feasibility Study provides strong evidence that the construction of first-stage smelter precincts offers many cost effective consolidation and efficiency savings, and that a dedicated railroad with all supporting infrastructure is feasible and economically favourable for steelmakers.

  • Port Hedland 1860 – 2012 a Tale of Three Booms
    Institutions, Efficiency and the Organisation of Seaports: A Comparative Analysis By Justin John Pyvis This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University September 2014 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... Justin John Pyvis Abstract Ports form an essential part of a country's infrastructure by facilitating trade and ultimately helping to reduce the cost of goods for consumers. They are characterised by solidity in physical infrastructure and legislative frameworks – or high levels of “asset specificity” – but also face the dynamics of constantly changing global market conditions requiring flexible responsiveness. Through a New Institutional Economics lens, the ports of Port Hedland (Australia), Prince Rupert (Canada), and Tauranga (New Zealand) are analysed. This dissertation undertakes a cross-country comparative analysis, but also extends the empirical framework into an historical analysis using archival data for each case study from 1860 – 2012. How each port's unique institutional environment – the constraints, or “rules of the game” – affected their development and organisational structure is then investigated. This enables the research to avoid the problem where long periods of economic and political stability in core institutions can become the key explanatory variables. The study demonstrates how the institutional pay-off structure determines what organisational forms come into existence at each port and where, why and how they direct their resources. Sometimes, even immense political will and capital investment will see a port flounder (Prince Rupert); or great resource booms will never be captured (Port Hedland); other times, the port may be the victim of special interest pressure from afar (Tauranga).

  • Port Hedland Peace Memorial Seafarers' Centre Inc
    Port Hedland Peace Memorial Seafarers’ Centre Inc. May 2019 Page 1 of 11 Port Hedland Peace Memorial Seafarers’ Centre Inc. We have 21 employees (14 full-time equivalent employees) & six volunteers caring for 30,000 seafarers annually, 365 days per year, 12 hours/day Monday to Saturday and 5/hrs/day on Sundays. We are based in the harsh outback Pilbara district of northern Western Australia in a remote town of 14,000 people, 200k from the nearest town, battling 48 degree temperatures, dust and cyclones. The Port of Port Hedland is Australia’s largest export port by annual throughput and the largest bulk minerals port in the world. Serving the mineral rich east Pilbara region of Western Australia, its main export commodity is 515 million tonnes pa of iron ore. The Port of Port Hedland was the first port to exceed the 100 million tonne per annum ceiling in 2004/05. Our core business is the care of seafarers, both onshore and onboard ship. We are a registered not-for-profit charity, operating under the auspices of the international Mission to Seafarers, which in turn is part of the worldwide Anglican Church, but function as a stand-alone, self-funded business. Page 2 of 11 Background The Port Hedland Seafarers Centre is located on the northwest coast of Western Australia in the remote Pilbara region, 1,400 km north of Perth, 250km northeast of the nearest major port at Dampier and 600km southwest of Broome. The Centre handles 30,000 seafarers each year passing through its doors, together with 9,000 tourists.
