WESTPORT TASKFORCE —
FREMANTLE PORT — LAND VALUE
849. Hon RICK MAZZA to the Minister for Ports:
I refer to the government's endorsement of the
Westport Taskforce's recommended location and design for a future
container port in Kwinana, and its announcement that the port will commence
operating in 2032. Can the minister advise what the estimated value of the land
at Fremantle port will be once the port is decommissioned and the land is
available for redevelopment?

I thank the member for the question.
The Westport Taskforce options analysis did not take into
account the future value of land that could become available for non-port use
at Fremantle. The next stage of Westport's work will resolve the timing
of the move and the transition strategy.
However, I understand that the previous government did do some work on this in
2014, before it changed course and decided it would privatise the port.
