Land Capabilities
KMSB’s landside operation is built around the vessel-to-road movement. Cargo comes off the vessel onto the wharf, can be staged in laydown, and moves out by road under one operator. KMSB’s cranes, reach stackers, forklifts and SPMTs handle cargo across the wharf and landside areas, so cargo doesn’t change hands between the quayside and the laydown.
Additional laydown space is available within the Port boundaries to support logistics and haulage activity.
Land Activation
Medium to long-term laydown areas located within port limits from the wharf’s entrance, are available to support storage and logistics activity.
- Includes an existing laydown area (~1.5 ha) at Port Drive East.
- Road infrastructure upgraded to support both KPA and KMSB port facilities.
- Connection to Broome’s RAV10 road network supports PBS ‘Super Quad’ road trains and oversized cargo movements between the quayside and the KMSB facility.
Land Availability Near the Wharf
KMSB has approximately 17 hectares of prime industrial support land ready to develop, within the Port of Broome. This land is ideal for diverse logistics and warehousing developments. This landbank supports efficient inventory management, asset staging, and laydown, enabling rapid mobilisation of heavy equipment and cargo operations.
Current plans include 3.5 hectares of the laydown area being utilised for the storage of loaded and empty rotainers.
KMSB have plans to develop a bulk warehouse capable of storing around 46,000 tonnes, within the Port boundaries.
The support land is located within 2km from the wharf, within the Port boundaries, facilitating efficient logistics.
Contact us if you are intending to bring oversize cargo into the Port of Broome.
The floating wharf's has 5,400m² of JIT storage space available, supporting continuous operations. Rotainer and container stacking on the wharf is an option.
Road Train Access
Road access between the quayside and landside areas is supported through purpose‑designed road infrastructure connecting to Broome’s RAV10 road network. This enables the safe movement of PBS ‘Super Quad’ road trains and oversized cargo between the quayside, the KMSB facility and onward distribution through the Kimberley and Pilbara.
A 400‑metre bi‑directional causeway, incorporating an 85‑metre linkspan bridge, connects the floating wharf to the landside access point. This configuration supports two‑way traffic flow and accommodates a range of vehicle types associated with port, logistics and haulage operations.
KMSB funded and delivered upgrades to the Port of Broome entrance, including a new roundabout, road realignment, drainage and utilities, serving both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
