Mid West, Western Australia

Emergency management for the Mid West.

Geraldton and its port, mine sites hours inland, broadacre farmland and a major fishing fleet, each carrying a different kind of risk.

Operating context

What makes the Mid West different.

The Mid West runs a regional city and a working port alongside mining operations that sit hours from the nearest town, a large broadacre farming belt, and the state’s biggest rock lobster fishery. Ex-tropical lows track down into the region, bushfire runs through the northern farmland and ranges, and Geraldton concentrates industrial, port and community risk in one place.

Resolve works across that mix, from port and industrial incident readiness in Geraldton, to Emergency Response Team capability on remote mine sites, to bushfire and emergency management arrangements for the region’s local governments.

The regional risk picture

The hazards we build for in the Mid West.

Ex-tropical lows and storms

Cyclone remnants and severe storms bringing wind damage, flooding and extended outages across a wide area.

Farmland and range fire

Fast grassland and scrub fire through the northern agricultural districts, Chapman Valley and Northampton.

Port and industrial risk

Concentrated hazardous materials, bulk handling and transport exposure around the Port of Geraldton.

Remote mine sites

Operations well inland where a response depends on the people on site, not external agencies.

How we work here

On site where it matters. Remote where it makes sense.

Geraldton is within reach for regular on-site work, and we mobilise to remote sites for training and exercises. Planning and review runs remotely between visits.
