The Shire of East Pilbara’s major projects program is moving into a key delivery phase, with several region-wide projects progressing at the same time across inland and coastal communities.

The Newman Youth and Community Hub has completed planning and design, with the tender process now closed and submissions under evaluation ahead of construction.

The Newman Airport Integrated Redevelopment has completed design for the taxiway and apron extension and upgrade, with the tender process commencing soon for Phase 1 of the construction works. The terminal building upgrade is currently undergoing planning and design.

In the coastal part of the region, the Cape Keraudren Boat Ramp Upgrade is progressing to improve access and safety at a key recreational and tourism location, supporting regional visitation and community use, with planning and design underway.

Together with recently completed projects such as the Nullagine Pool, these works reflect a coordinated, region-wide approach to delivering essential infrastructure and community facilities across the East Pilbara.
