Who We Are
At Mid West Ports, our story is about people. We are a diverse team made up of locals who live and work alongside you, dedicated to fostering a resilient and thriving community.
Our port is a crucial link between regional industries and global markets, but its true impact reaches far beyond infrastructure. We are committed to the Mid West’s success and wellbeing, investing in its future through active engagement and support.
Located in the vibrant town of Geraldton, we play a key role in both the economic and social fabric of the region. We believe that real success comes from giving back and working in partnership with our community. Through our annual Community Grants Program and Not-for-Profit Program, we actively support local organisations and initiatives that make a lasting difference.
Our commitment to giving back is connected with our focus on Reconciliation as we strive to honour the land we operate on and build strong, lasting relationships with Traditional Owners.
Whether it's providing employment, contributing to local business growth, or supporting community initiatives, we understand the port's role in driving prosperity for the Mid West.
We shape our operations and projects through meaningful consultation and engagement with the community. We believe in being transparent, listening to feedback, and ensuring that our port’s growth aligns with the aspirations of those who live here.
Together, we are more than a port; we are partners in building a stronger, more connected, and resilient Mid West region.
