Hedland on the Horizon - Precinct Structure Plans 

The Town of Port Hedland is shaping a bold future for two key urban areas the, South Hedland Town Centre and Port Hedland West End, through the development of new Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs).

These PSPs will establish a 10-year vision for how each precinct can grow into more vibrant, connected, and liveable places. They will guide land use, building form and density, infrastructure, movement networks, environmental values, and community spaces to ensure future development is well-planned and coordinated.
