The Town in currently embarking on an ambitious plan to deliver a number of strategic projects.
These projects aim to deliver a wide range of benefits to our community, improve service delivery, support the local economy and drive efficiencies.
With these projects expected to be delivered on time and on budget, the Town believes the time is right to examine further opportunities.
The development of this Invest in Hedland Prospectus provides an overview of the investment-ready opportunities available for industry to support pro-active management of growth in our town.
We believe the time is right for major investment in our region. We are seeking investment partners, including State and Federal Government, to help deliver a series of key projects that will improve the community's lifestyle, develop existing Council assets for the long term future and create long term opportunities for local business.
Local businesses employ locals, have local families and live locally, and the Town is committed to exploring options that will further support them and drive the economy.
We welcome you to review what we have to offer and invite you to contact us to discuss how you can be part of an exciting future for Hedland.
