Editor's Notes
- Perth is one of the most liveable cities in the world with a population that is expected to nearly double in size by mid-century. Our economy relies heavily on the efficient import and export of freight to support our industry - and our people rely on imported goods to maintain their lifestyle. How can WA plan and protect the long term future of freight so future generations from Perth to Bunbury may enjoy the standard of living we enjoy today? 1. City growing – we need to plan for our future Look grand kids in the eye and be able to say we did our best. We need to think about this in terms of what is best for the state.

- Stage 1 – problem identification and prioritisation Stage 2 – Initiative Identification and Options development
- Key points: Questions go across Technical work packages go down. Aim is to answer the questions by threading our way through the work packages. Peer review during process and of reports Options go through a multi criteria analysis Information feeds into final report Whole process is underpinned by Communications and engagement Mapping – GIS – story mapping – legacy of project Project management – complex task as so many moving pieces Sustainability – Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia 4 principles: economic, environmental, social and governance. Building this into Westport. New territory at the planning stage as traditionally this is done at the delivery end of infrastructure projects.
- These questions were all tested in Westport Preparing for the Strategy
- Figure: Ability to influence sustainability outcomes is highest early in the project lifecycle, but this ability diminishes as the project proceeds through planning, design, construction, and into operation. Conversely, the achievement of sustainability outcomes rises as more effort is spent on the project, the project gets constructed and then moves into operation.

- In this initial phase of engagement we sought feedback on the process for developing the Westport Strategy. Specifically, we asked respondents to consider the following questions when preparing their submission: Do you support the proposed approach? If not, why? Have we missed any key issues? Do you have any information to help us build our evidence base? Can you or your organisation contribute to Westport? A public comment period for feedback on this discussion paper opened on 13 December 2017 and closed at 5pm on 31 January 2018.
- Environmental - comments Include sustainable development from the port to the industry - consider Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) framework a Strategic Environmental Assessment (EP Act) is well-aligned to a staged port development as it allows for feedback on the health of the environment in response to a large dredging campaign which may be required at the front end of the development; Consider Bunbury Port Master Plan the idea that Cockburn Sound is recovering needs further scientific investigation; Further investigate the diverse and significant environmental values of Cockburn Sound, and the significant heritage values of the study area; Include indigenous representation on Reference Group and indigenous heritage (traditional owners the Gnaala Karla Booja (GKB) people); seawater because it plays a key role in cooling water, desalination feed water and disposal of reject waters. Land use planning - comments Consider urban sprawl and the imbalance between industry location and workforce residences; Clarify the process for determining future uses for the Port of Fremantle in both interim and transition periods; Consider the availability of surrounding land for connected industries and their supply chains; Ensure consistency between land uses and adopted land use planning instruments; Ensure appropriate buffer and separation distances between industrial land, transport corridors and residential developments to minimise adverse impacts of non-compatible land uses; Include expanded desalination plant and land ownership; Investigate the potential sharing of major utility corridors to minimise land take and maximise the use of industrial land; and Provide further evidence to demonstrate that Cockburn Sound is the most appropriate location for additional container and general cargo facilities to cater for the overflow of trade from the Inner Harbour. Mandogalup residents are opposed to any changes in land zoning or increased industrial land use around Mandogalup. Transport planning – comments Maintain rail freight corridors into the Kwinana Industrial Area (including a means of separating narrow and standard gauge traffic), to support grain operations; Consider the forecasted Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) ratings required when planning road infrastructure Consider inland freight networks and intermodal hubs; Consider the current modes of transportation Freo, Kwinana, Bunbury and understand constraints and ways to ease those constraints; Understand lessons learned from current ports and apply them to Westport Consider expanding rail network to Bunbury Port - if found to be an alternative to reduce the export pressure on Fremantle Port - as this could reduce the number of trucks transporting cargo loads via the road network; Undertake a demand analysis to identify future requirements for port facilities and the associated logistics chain.
- Commercial Ensure the long-term security of sea bed lease arrangements, particularly in the event of private ownership or a port sale – to give certainty for grain and other strategic commodity infrastructure when considering investment in existing and future infrastructure; and Consider how new port facilities will be funded and financed Economic Development Include a development function within the project team; Establish a governance working group to plan for the long-term business development of the State's premier industrial area; Assess potential solutions to the freight network considering good economic policy : Clear and transparent metrics to account for the many competing interests of different stakeholder groups across government and the private sector; and Intergenerational wealth transfer effects, taking a longer term view to ensure both current and future generations of Western Australians benefit from the Westport Strategy. Port Planning Consider Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury Consider priorities for animal exports, such as, berth facilities availability and access, animal welfare, road access, transit, wharf labour, operational costs involved, stockfeed storage facilities, utilities availability and security State, Federal and International issues: Transhipping issues - the interaction of shipping requirements with Federal Government maritime legislation and coastal shipping obligations; Maritime security issues - noting where the majority of WA’s exports are currently transported and growing uncertainties in the Asian region, potential security issues should be given serious consideration; Shipping lanes - current port users are conceded new shipping lanes will have an impact on their current shipping lanes.
- Trade task: Identify the characteristics of the existing trades handled by port facilities at Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury. This will include descriptions of container, bulk and break bulk trades including livestock, cars and scrap metal as well as shipping activities associated with tourism, defence and science. Analyse future market and trading trends and prepare trade forecasts taking into account factors that drive trade growth such as economic trends, population growth as well as product and purchasing trends. Estimate the overall potential trade task for Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury at low, medium and high growth scenarios over various time/population horizons. This information will be applied to low, medium and high growth scenarios to determine the future trade task and infrastructure requirements. This work package will be informed by the WAPC's sub regional planning frameworks to 2050 and will explore what may be possible beyond this time horizon. Constraints and opportunities This work package will address at a high level: environment (marine and terrestrial), (links to work stream 7) land use planning (zoning, built environment), economic development industry (industrial agglomeration and symbiosis, tourism, defence support industries) utilities (water, power, gas) governance (state agreements, local governments) social development (jobs, skills and access to work) Land use focus Road and freight rail network corridors Industrial lands Clustering, new industries, pipelines Kwinana SIA, Lat 32, BRM Defence related activities Utilities – water, power, telecommunications Employment, housing, regeneration Mapping findings to see the big picture Supply chain This work package will include : Review of relevant world’s best practices: Supply chain operations (end to end) commercial structure, funding models, technology, biosecurity/national security what would not work in WA and why Understand future needs of customers (eg amazon effect, bespoke global supply chains). Investigate changes in unitisation during the planning period other than global trends towards FEU. Intermodal operations and land use planning in the context of the Westport supply chain – Latitude 32, Identify possible supply chain disruptors - changes to heavy vehicle and rail based designs and technologies, driverless vehicle technology. Identify future supply chain needs of Western Trade Coast - Defence and the AMC. Explore potential for a Bunbury based container operation servicing Perth Does Western Australia have a future as a shipping hub for Australasia (PATREC) To understand the world’s best practice port and supply chain logistics operations, relevant industry and technological trends and how these may be applied to the Westport planning process. To describe the existing Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury port operations and the IMEX supply chain pathways and logistics from origin to destination (international, national, state supply chain pathways). To apply world’s best practice learnings and, using WA trade task information, propose conceptual, sustainable port operational and supply chain models that may be used in the Westport port planning process. 4. Port Capability The Ports Capability Work Stream is examining the existing and future operational capability, capacity and constraints of ports in Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury under a range of possible future growth scenarios. It includes: Capacity of existing infrastructure Capacity of known/probable/possible future port infrastructure High level identification of key constraints that may inhibit a port from reaching capacity (these will need to be further investigated through the Westport project) Understanding the physical requirements for a port to be able to service particular trades Detailing vessel trends and implications for ports (depth/dredging) 5. Hypotheses A range of high level supply chain options Port location/commodity/infrastructure Propose criteria to rank them and cull them into a short list of potential workable options Between 5 and 6 REPORT: What we have found so far will include Findings to date Propose high level criteria to cull the hypotheses Propose detailed criteria for multi-criteria assessment of short listed options Collate feedback from public consultation and peer review into How will we assess the options. NO SURPRISES WHEN GET TO MCA 6. Short listing options High level criteria applied to cull hypotheses Short listed options identified and ready to fatten up with information before the MCA
- These work streams provide in depth information on the short listed options. 7. Environmental Starts early to inform work stream 2. Identifies: Describing the current state of knowledge on the terrestrial, coastal and marine environment at the possible port locations (i.e. Fremantle, Kwinana, Bunbury, and other locations as identified during the Westport Project); identifying knowledge gaps and defining future research required for estimating risks and potential impacts. Undertaking a preliminary risk assessment for the purpose of identifying and defining potential environmental constraints in each area to inform the hypothesis generation process and the shortlisting of options. This evaluation will consider cumulative impacts associated with all port-associated infrastructure and other development proposals with the potential to adversely affect environmental and/or social values. Identifying and generating opportunities to avoid, mitigate, and/or offset cumulative impacts and opportunities to improve the surrounding environment by other means. Providing advice on the environmental risks associated with the Westport Preferred Option and on scientific investigations required for a robust estimation of risks and impacts associated with this option Port Operations and connectivity This work package will identify operational requirements such as landside connections and physical aspects for each of the Westport options 9. Opportunities Explores how each of the Westport options can add value. Commercial This Work Package will identify the "order of magnitude" costs as well as the staging, funding and governance models for each of the Westport 11. Defence Related Opportunities: Determine how defence requirements may be supported through the WTC, AMC and Latitude 32 whilst considering potential environmental impacts.
