About Us

Mid West Ports Authority (MWPA) operates as a Western Australian Government Trading Enterprise and is governed under the Port Authorities Act 1999 WA (the Act).

MWPA was established on 1 July 2014, as a result of the Ports Legislation Amendment Act 2014 consolidating seven of WA’s eight port authorities into four new regional port authorities. 

MWPA is governed by the Board of Directors appointed by the Minister for Ports.
