A consortium behind a multi billion dollar port and rail project in Western Australia’s mid west says construction will start in 2011.
Oakajee Port and Rail (OPR) locked in an agreement with the State Government in April to build a $4 billion port and associated rail infrastructure.
The Chief Executive of OPR, Chris Eves, has told a business gathering in Perth this morning that the consortium hopes to complete the project by 2013.
Mr Eves says $60 million has already been spent undertaking a feasibility study with another $100 million to be spent in the next 18 months.
