I thank the member for the
question.
(1) The financial
impact criteria will deliver an economic return to the state and a financial
return to the Pilbara Ports Authority while ensuring all other non-financial
objectives are met.
(2) When fully developed and operational, Lumsden
Point is forecast to create approximately 200 full-time jobs.
(3) Preliminary
rehabilitation, dredging and reclamation is complete. Consideration is being
given as to how the site could be developed in partnership with the private
sector and a revised business case is being prepared for the delivery of common
user infrastructure, access corridor, road and causeway.
(4) Current trade
forecasts indicate sufficient capacity at existing Port Hedland general cargo
berths in the near term.
