2026 TA Industry Lunch | Patrick Seares, Westport | Perth

Join Transport Australia on 30 June in Perth, for an industry briefing on Westport and the future of Western Australia’s freight and port network.
This discussion will explore the strategic vision for a new port and integrated supply chain, how industry can prepare to support future delivery, and the environmental considerations shaping the project, including the protection and restoration of seagrass in Cockburn Sound. This is a valuable opportunity for members to understand the scale, complexity and long-term opportunity of Westport.
Don’t miss this chance to connect with industry leaders and be part of the conversation driving WA forward.
