Works are progressing on the Lumsden Point development, which is enhancing the Port of Port Hedland's export and import capabilities.
More than 280 steel piles will be installed in the coming months forming the base of the two new multi-user wharfs.
Lumsden Point will facilitate the export of battery metals and minerals and the import of renewable energy infrastructure.
The Landside Civils and Services contract has been awarded to Ertech Pty Ltd. Ertech will deliver earthworks, internal roads, sealing of the causeway and underground services across the development, including power, water and communications.
The project will support the growth of direct trade to the Pilbara as a major creator of jobs and economic opportunities.
Imports through Lumsden Point are expected to begin in mid-2026.
The Australian Government is investing $565 million in common user port upgrades in the Pilbara, with $450 supporting Lumsden Point in partnership with the Western Australian Government, which is contributing $96.6 million to the project.
