Rail Network

How can freight rail service the new terminal and support WA's future growth?

Western Australia’s freight rail network connects primary industries in regional areas with industrial processing hubs, the Fremantle Inner Harbour and Outer Harbour, and the east coast of Australia.

As part of the long-term planning for new container port facilities in Kwinana and an integrated supply chain, Westport has considered how the freight task can be shared between road and rail networks in the most efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective way.

Westport’s preferred supply chain design includes a new rail connection and targeted upgrades to the existing freight rail network, to enable an even higher commercial rail share for container distribution.
