Background Information

This ILUA is the subject of the Western Australian Government's development of a new major deep water port and industrial precinct at Anketell in the Pilbara.

The ILUA constitutes project terms for the construction of a multi-user deepwater port and strategic industrial area, located 30 kilometres east of Karratha and 10 kilometres from Cape Lambert.

With this project, the Western Australian Government envisages that new export opportunities will arise due to facilitating the processing of iron ore and other minerals.
