APP in association with RPS is currently involved in the preparation of the Port Hedland City Growth Plan, which will provide a strategic planning framework to identify the long term vision and objectives for the Town.  This includes key issues and opportunities, strategies for how sustainable growth of the Town should occur, and the implications for land use and development (including land release staging).  A social infrastructure framework is also part of the Plan, to align the population growth trajectory, corresponding social and physical infrastructure requirements to meet the needs of that growth, and the thresholds at which it should be provided.
