Mid West Ports Authority (MWPA) trade volume for 2019/20 was 14.95 million tonnes, slightly down on the previous year by 6% (0.96 million tonnes), primarily attributable to the reduced grain season and some
impacts of COVID-19.
Importantly, we have again seen a significant improvement in our safety performance with 685 days injury free (to 30 June 2020) and a reduction in Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate from 4.4 to 0.
As a Government Trading Enterprise (GTE), we are expected under legislation to operate commercially and profitably. In 2019/20 we delivered an operating profit before tax of $17.1 million, contributing $9.4 million to the State Government in tax and dividends, clearly demonstrating the value of MWPA to Western Australians.
