The Town of Port Hedland is shaping a bold future for two key urban areas the, South Hedland Town Centre and Port Hedland West End, through the development of new Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs).

These PSPs will establish a 10-year vision for how each precinct can grow into more vibrant, connected, and liveable places. They will guide land use, building form and density, infrastructure, movement networks, environmental values, and community spaces to ensure future development is well-planned and coordinated.

By setting a clear framework, the PSPs will unlock opportunities for investment, revitalisation and high-quality development. Once endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission, they will serve as a key tool in shaping decisions and delivering on the Town’s aspirations for a thriving Port Hedland.

Precinct Structure Plans

Why are we doing this?

Creating PSPs for these two areas will give us a clear, strategic plan for future land use and investment.

For the West End, the planning instrument ‘Improvement Scheme No. 1’ requires a PSP to be prepared to coordinate future development revitalisation. With fragmented land ownership in the area, a PSP can help set the development direction in a more coordinated way.

In South Hedland, the PSP will consolidate and modernise existing land use planning, replacing the current Structure Plan. It will serve as a catalyst for development and inform updates to the Town’s existing local planning framework.
