Nature of the Engagement
Our Advisory Services team has advised Westport on numerous matters over a four year period spanning 2018–19 to 2021–22. The Westport Taskforce’s final recommendations were underpinned by the following key pieces of financial analysis provided by Western Australian Treasury Corporation (WATC):
Economic and commercial assessments of each option considered in the two detailed multi-criteria analyses, which were used to shortlist the project’s options.
A rapid cost–benefit analysis model to calculate the benefit–cost ratios of the shortlisted options.
Container growth rate review and recommendations.
About Westport
Westport is a complex infrastructure project being undertaken by the Western Australian State Government that is planning for a new port in Kwinana with supporting logistics and associated integrated road and rail transport corridors.
In August 2020, the State Government endorsed the independent Westport Taskforce’s recommended location for a future container port at Kwinana to meet Western Australia’s long-term freight needs.
Improved Client Outcome
The Department of Transport has retained WATC as a financial advisor to Westport to support the next stage of the program, which involves developing a business case and other considerations to inform a future investment decision by the State Government.
