Fremantle Ports - Portfolio Newsletter

Fremantle Ports has partnered with Byssal and DevelopmentWA to trial an innovative nature-based pilot project to enhance marine biodiversity and water quality for the long-term health of Cockburn Sound.

The trial, developed with marine environmental specialists Byssal, involves seeding approximately 20 tonnes (770,000 shells) of locally sourced blue mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) onto a selected rock wall at the Australian Marine Complex Common User Facility in Henderson.

Fremantle Ports hosted an industry engagement session last week to discuss proposed maintenance shutdowns at the Kwinana Bulk Jetty. Customers and stakeholders provided feedback on the timing and potential impacts of the works, which will inform the final shutdown schedule and ongoing planning.

North Mole remains closed to the public while extensive storm damage is assessed and repaired. Community safety remains a priority as engineering inspections have identified significant safety risks to road and pedestrian areas.

As major works are undertaken to stabilise displaced rocks and restore damaged infrastructure, Fremantle Ports will continue planned upgrades to North Mole's public amenities, including refurbishment of public toilets, a new fishing washdown area and repairs to the fishing platform.

Fremantle Ports recently shared updates on the KBT redevelopment, Aboriginal partnerships and future trade opportunities with more than 150 local business leaders at the Rockingham Kwinana Chamber of Commerce Business Breakfast.

The event provided an opportunity to discuss key projects, strategic priorities and Fremantle Ports' ongoing role in supporting industry growth across Western Australia.

NAIDOC Week 2026 was a great week of celebration at Fremantle Ports. Now in the middle of our Innovate Reconciliation Plan, we paused early in the week to reflect on our reconciliation journey, our connection to land and water and the progress the organisation has made.

Thank you to Danny Ford OAM, Jonathan Ford and the team from Kambarang Services who joined us in Fremantle and Rueben Hayden-Nelson in Kwinana as the celebrations continued with the sharing of stories, language and culture with our team.
