Cape Keraudren Boat Ramp Upgrade

Project Description

This page provides project information and updates as works progress.

Cape Keraudren is a key coastal destination within the East Pilbara, widely used for boating, fishing, camping and recreation by locals and visitors.

The Shire of East Pilbara is upgrading the Cape Keraudren boat ramp to improve safety, accessibility and usability for boat users and the wider community. The project focuses on practical improvements to support safer launching and retrieval of vessels in a remote coastal environment.

This upgrade forms part of the Shire’s broader Resilient by Design program, which is delivering essential infrastructure improvements across the East Pilbara.

Why the Boat Ramp Upgrade Is Needed

The existing boat ramp has experienced increased use over time and is subject to harsh coastal conditions.

Targeted upgrades are required to:

• improve safety for boat users

• provide more reliable access across a wider range of tides and conditions

• reduce risks associated with launching and retrieval

• improve durability and long-term performance in a remote marine environment

The project responds to long-standing community use of the site and supports safe, ongoing access to a popular recreational area.

What the Project Will Deliver

The Cape Keraudren Boat Ramp Upgrade will deliver practical improvements focused on safety, functionality and longevity. Works may include:

• upgrades to the boat ramp structure

• improved launch and retrieval conditions

• associated access and safety improvements

• infrastructure designed for remote coastal conditions and long-term maintenance

Final scope and sequencing will be confirmed as works progress.
