As part of Mid West Ports Authority’s Port Maximization Project (PMaxP), Geraldton Port has engaged MGN Civil to build a new breakwater wall to reduce the severity and downtime of wave surge activity which, on average, requires us to close the Port for 34 days each year.
Once completed, this breakwater wall is expected to reduce the severity of these events – and the downtime that follows – by up to 80 per cent, Mid West Ports said.

Construction will follow hot on the heels of the first rock arriving at the Port and is due for completion in 2028.
