Message from our Mayor

It is an exciting time currently to be investing and developing in Port Hedland. There is an unprecedented level of activity in the region associated with port activities and the resources industry. All forecasts are suggesting that this is only set to further increase in the short to medium term.

There is also a full commitment from all levels of government to together make Port Hedland a vibrant, sustainable place of choice where people come to live, work, play and visit for lifestyle, services, facilities and opportunities.

I wholeheartedly encourage you to also be a part of this “never before seen” growth and development of Port Hedland as we accelerate towards the birth of the first city of the North.

Kelly Howlett Mayor Town of Port Hedland 29 January 2010

Learn & Return: Dubai Update

In May 2009 we traveled to the United Arab Emirates. This was a small delegation of Town Councillors and a local journalist on a study tour. Our aim was to gather as much information as we could from people in Dubai with economic development experience in a similar environment to our own.

We contacted the WA Government Trade office in Dubai to link to appropriate people to meet locally. We wanted to investigate the viability of similar Dubai developments for Port Hedland, namely infrastructure development and how the use of tax incentives has played a significant role in attracting new business and encouraging economic development in their region.
