2. To form a cohesive light industrial / bulky goods precinct which capitalises on the proximity of the Port Hedland International Airport and allows a for a range and scale of businesses that may benefit from this proximity.
3. To implement and achieve sustainable building and management practices, including maximizing resource efficiency, minimising waste to landfill, minimizing energy use, and water consumption.
