Oakajee Port and Rail (OPR) is developing a greenfields infrastructure and supply chain business to transport iron ore from Western Australia's mid-west to customers across the globe. On 20 March 2009, OPR and the Western Australian State Government signed an exclusive State Development Agreement for the development of the multi-billion dollar deepwater port at Oakajee, 445 km north of Perth and integrated rail network to service iron ore miners and other port users in the mid-west region.
