Project overview

The new Spoilbank Marina precinct will include an interactive, adventure playground for children and families, courtesy of funding from the Cook Government.

The Town of Port Hedland has been successful in securing a $4 million grant through Lotterywest to design and build the playground which will become a key feature of the Spoilbank Marina precinct.

Recent census data for the Port Hedland local government area shows 17.6 per cent of the population is aged under 10 compared to the State average of 12.6 per cent.

It is envisaged the new playground will become a social hub for visitors and families living in Port Hedland and neighbouring communities.

The playground will include secure perimeter fencing, shade structures, native trees and shrubs and wetpour rubber softfall surfaces in play areas.

Meanwhile work managed by Pilbara Ports continues at the Spoilbank Marina precinct with construction expected to be completed later this year.

The $187 million project is funded by the State Government, Town of Port Hedland and BHP.
