Plan for Fremantle alternative powers ahead

18 years ago

Western Australian port developer James Point has committed to stage two of its plan to build a container terminal at Kwinana, as an alternative port to Fremantle.

Port Strategy: Fremantle could have a battle for business on its hands soon

Environmental approvals are already in place for stage one, but an amendment to the local Metropolitan Region Scheme is needed for construction to continue.

Once that is achieved, stage one could be ready for business within two years and stage two could be open in about five years.
