Welcome to the Oakajee Port & Rail web

site.

From vision to reality – Oakajee Port and Rail (OPR) is ready to deliver a rail and port business to transport iron ore from Western Australia’s mid-west region to customers across the globe.

On 20 March 2009, OPR and the Western Australian State Government signed an exclusive State Development Agreement for the development of the multi-billion dollar deepwater port at Oakajee, 25 km north of Geraldton and integrated rail network to service iron ore miners and other port users in the mid-west region.

Project planning is at an advanced stage, including major engineering studies and environmental impact assessments. Backed by the certainty of the landmark State Development Agreement, OPR will now invest $100 million over the next 12 months in further studies and detailed planning as part of the project’s Bankable Feasibility Study.

The company will deliver world-class infrastructure and an integrated transport supply chain to underpin the future development of the mid-west, deliver thousands of new jobs during the construction phase and secure long-term economic prosperity for Geraldton and the mid-west region.

The port will cater for the world’s largest ore carriers and the railway network will service the growing number of mining projects operating in the region.

OPR is working with the State Government, the local community, iron ore producers and other industries to deliver this exciting infrastructure business to the mid-west and turn the vision into reality.
