Port Hedland Spoilbank Marina

The $187.5 million Port Hedland Spoilbank Marina project aims to transform Port Hedland’s waterfront into an attractive and popular destination for locals and visitors. Featuring boat pens and a four-lane boat ramp, the marina will provide boaties with safer access to deep water, a sheltered area to moor their vessels, and ample vehicle and trailer parking.

The marina will be supported by a multi-million-dollar foreshore development, aiming to create a vibrant space for people, young and old, to enjoy the iconic waterfront location. This will include a waterside promenade, grassed areas for picnics and events, amenities block, landscaped gardens and public art.

Features will include:

• A four-lane boat ramp;

• 22 boat-pen marina with capacity to expand to 80 pens in the future;

• Separate entrance channel to the main shipping channel;

• Trailer parking for up to 200 vehicles;

• Maintenance hardstand;

• Publicly accessible breakwaters with pedestrian path;

• Public recreation and event space and public amenities;

• Waterfront promenade; and

• Public art and a cultural gathering space.

The Port Hedland Spoilbank Marina is funded by the State Government, BHP and the Town of Port Hedland. The project design has been led by an inter-agency Taskforce comprised of the Pilbara Development Commission, Department of Transport, Pilbara Ports Authority, Town of Port Hedland and DevelopmentWA.
