BHP Billiton Iron Ore’s mining operations in the vast Pilbara region of WA are one of the largest in the world, shipping more than 120 Mtpa of iron ore. The heavy haulage rail system, the heaviest in the world, uses state of the art technology across all facets of the operation. Located on the coast, Port Hedland is the largest regional centre in the north west, close to Broome, Karratha and Karijini National Park. Around 15,000 people call Port Hedland home and enjoy well-established entertainment, sporting, shopping and medical facilities, and a strong sense of community.
