Westport – Activity 1

Westport will deliver an integrated strategy to meet freight and trade logistics for Perth and surrounding regions (including Bunbury) for the next 50-100 years. It will guide the planning, development and growth of the Port of Fremantle at the Inner and Outer Harbour, the required rail and road networks, and the opportunities for the Port of Bunbury to handle trade expansion.

The Vision

Workshop – Activity 1

Integrated: With various parts or

aspects linked or coordinated

Strategy: A plan of action

designed to achieve a long-term or overall aim

It will guide the planning, development and growth of the Port of Fremantle at the Inner and Outer Harbour, the required rail and road networks, and the opportunities for the Port of Bunbury to handle trade expansion.

Activity 1: What is your understanding of an ‘integrated strategy’ for Westport

Activity 1: What is your understanding of an ‘integrated strategy’?

Westport – Findings Activity 1 What we understand by integrated strategy

• Considers social, economic, environment and governance issues to create a plan for 50 to 100 years for Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury

• Involves the inclusion of all stakeholders • Supports continued growth across the region • Sets clear direction for industry • Covers the greater region • It is agile to adapt to unknown future scenarios • Strategy which considers all aspects of successful port

operations and it’s integrated across Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury

• Addresses all implementation aspects for delivering an objective

• Integrates ports, freight transport, supply chain and land use planning

• Opportunities and economic development integration • All parties working together

Westport – Findings Activity 1 What we understand by integrated strategy

• Integrated with supply, demand and context • Best return to the state • Cognitive of other markets • Includes a range of issues which, through aims and

objectives, relate to a common purpose • High level guide or framework for future planning • Westport to define the elements required for a

successful new port including logistics, supply chain, industry needs as well as environmental and social considerations for a balanced sustainable solution.

• Balances and understands all different interests • Achieves future goals around sustainability and social

values • Possible combination of parameters to satisfy as many

objectives as possible with minimal loss

Activity 2: What is your understanding of ‘Westport Hypotheses’?

Westport – Findings Activity 2 What we understand by Westport Hypotheses

• Future scenarios • The state will be economically and socially better off

with the development of Westport • Planning scenarios for a port and supply chain • Future options • Proposals for outcomes that will outline the

opportunities and constraints that are likely to happen with each proposal

• Set of scenarios that show opportunities and constraints over different time horizons

• An option that contains places, designs, timing, benefits and processes to deliver against the trade task demand

• Potential scenarios to be tested through further analysis to determine the ultimate option on which the Westport strategy will be based

• Logistics hub that meets all the future freight needs of Perth

• Set of hypotheses relating to Westport questions which were identified at the beginning of the project

• A possible solution which is created in an unconstrained environment

• Hypotheses wouldn’t be mutually exclusive • A broad feasible set of options • Stretch a thought/idea • Permutation of all possible options including port, road,

rail and intermodal

Workshop – Activity 3

Some elements to consider when creating Westport hypotheses

Locations • Fremantle • Kwinana • Bunbury

Population/Time Horizons • 2.7 million ~ 2030 • 3.5 million ~ 2050 • 5 million before 2100

Considerations • Base case • Expand • Relocate • Build new

Workshop – Activity 3 Activity 3: HOW would you put these elements together

to create a ‘Westport hypothesis’?

Activity 3: How did you put the elements together to create a Westport

hypothesis?

Did your team develop a Westport hypothesis? What was the process your team used to develop it? What was the most challenging part? What learnings can we use to develop Westport hypotheses?

Westport – Findings Activity 3 Westport Hypotheses methodology

• Involves a hierarchy of elements that are individually tested

• The hypotheses generated should unlock future industry development and jobs

• Hypotheses should be flexible to respond to changing demands overtime

• The process should ensure key preservation of space • The process should ensure that “not stupid options” go

forward

• The methodology should consider trade, location and timeframes

• The hypotheses should answer “what success looks like?” • The challenges:

• Breadth of views • Testing future scenarios • Full articulation of the ideas • To know what happens when things move on and

change over time

• The hypotheses should consider the characteristics of the trade tasks and all the elements involved from ship to user now and in the future

• The methodology should develop criteria to assess how tasks (cost, community impact, ability to handle uncertain future) are being fulfilled.

• We need to create a process to help us account for what we don’t know, such as new importing or exporting industries

Westport – Findings Activity 3 Westport Hypotheses methodology

• The process for generating hypotheses should come at different levels:

Tier 1 • Trade Task • Infrastructure needed • Place/location

• The process should have a combination of different approaches:

• Experts input • Mathematical • Business proposing hypotheses

• The process for Westport hypotheses needs to maintain objectivity.

• The process could be a matrix that considers locations, trades (existing and new ones), constraints, timeframes and opportunities.

• The process of shortlisting should have community input

• The process should be logical and easy to understand • Challenges will be around comparing scenarios and

making the formulation of the right criteria to undertake the multi-criteria assessment.

Tier 2 • Environment • Social • Funding • Economic
