Port Hedland

Industrial lots opening in WA mining town

Eight new general industrial lots are now available for sale at DevelopmentWA’s Hedland Junction in the Wedgefield Industrial Estate in Western Australia.

The lots range in size from 6,664m² to 3.1365ha just 12km from Port Hedland, and offer small and medium businesses the opportunity to expand or establish themselves in the mining town.

All lots in the current release are titled and development ready with power, water, and access to the National Broadband Network.

The civil works contract for the development was awarded to Pilbara-based contractor TCD Civil Construction, which created valuable construction employment opportunities.

Since its development, Hedland Junction has seen the creation of 61 lots and is home to well-known companies such as BP, Monadelphous, Bridgestone, Qube, Toll and Komatsu.

Once fully developed, Hedland Junction will provide almost 400 ongoing full-time jobs, with the operating businesses having an annual economic output of $177 million.

DevelopmentWA is upgrading infrastructure at the Wedgefield Industrial Estate by extending Hematite Drive to Great Northern Highway.

The heavy haulage connection to Great Northern Highway will improve ingress and egress from Wedgefield Industrial Estate.
