Port of Derby Operations Transition

Published on Wednesday, 10 June 2026 at 12:54:27 PM

The Shire of Derby/West Kimberley is preparing for the transition of Port of Derby operations to the Kimberley Port Authority. We know the community values recreation, fishing, walking and connection to Country. We want to reassure you that community access will continue.

This transition relates to Port operations only. It does not change how residents, families, visitors or tourism operators use the jetty or the coastline. Our priority is to keep the community informed, protect cultural values and ensure the transition is clear, respectful and well understood.

“We are committed to protecting the community interests of the Shire throughout the entire transition.”

“Community access will continue throughout and after the transition.”
