We joined the Kwinana Industries Councill Members Forum yesterday to share an update on the Kwinana Bulk Terminal redevelopment project and it was great to see so many organisations involved in the conversation.

While we are still in the project development phase, the redevelopment will be significant for the region, supporting jobs, local businesses and Western Australia’s future trade.

A big focus for us is local participation. We’re keen to work closely with businesses in Kwinana and surrounding areas to make the most of the opportunities ahead.

Thanks to everyone who shared their insights. We're looking forward to continuing the conversation.

Over the weekend, Fremantle Ports evacuated all commercial vessels from our harbours as a precaution ahead of severe weather.

These decisions are never taken lightly, but safety always comes first - for our people, the community and everyone on the water. While it might seem unusual, ships are often safer at sea than in port during severe weather.

As conditions begin to ease today, vessels will gradually return and normal operations will resume.

Many in the community made their way to South Mole to watch the dramatic conditions firsthand. It was a powerful reminder of just how strong these weather systems can be. Unfortunately, North Mole has sustained storm damage and will remain closed while repairs are carried out.

Thank you to everyone who followed safety advice over the weekend.

We were proud to stand 'All in' for reconciliation at today’s National Reconciliation Week Breakfast at Optus Stadium.

In Kwinana, local Noongar man Rueben Hayden Nelson shared powerful truths with our Kwinana Bulk Terminal team, grounding the importance of history and understanding.

This week, across the organisation we’re asking: How will you take action to make change?

After hosting the National Reconciliation Week Breakfast last year at the Fremantle Passenger Terminal, we are proud to build on our commitment to reconciliation by announcing our 2026 partnership with Reconciliation WA .

This partnership continues our commitment to reconciliation - helping to deliver our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan commitments and drive meaningful outcomes for community:
• more opportunities for Aboriginal businesses
• pathways into education, training and long-term jobs
• deeper, ongoing engagement with Aboriginal communities

As Fremantle Ports delivers major projects and drives the future of trade, we are focused on ensuring the benefits are shared with the communities we work alongside.

Across Fremantle, Kwinana, Cockburn and Rockingham these commitments are being built into how we plan and deliver projects, ensuring growth creates real, lasting outcomes for community.

Fremantle Ports is proud to celebrate the wonderful ambassadors of our organisation - the dedicated and award-winning volunteers of the Friends of Fremantle Ports.

If you’ve joined one of our Victoria Quay Port Walks or attended a Fremantle Ports community event, chances are you’ve experienced their passion firsthand. Their knowledge spans everything from our rich history to the vital trade that keeps our ports moving.

Thank you for the energy, warmth, and enthusiasm you bring to every interaction. Your good humour and commitment make a lasting impression on our community.

We celebrate and appreciate you, not only during National Volunteer Week, but every day!

Come and see for yourself! Join a Victoria Quay port walk!
