The Westport Taskforce is currently preparing a Westport Port and Environs Strategy, expected to be completed late 2019, it is expected to include an intermodal terminal. Latitude 32 is one of the proposed locations. The taskforce includes experts from key Government agencies responsible for planning, transport, environment, jobs and finances.

An intermodal terminal is the transfer point from one mode of transport toanother and is an integral part of transport and logistics. The size and location of the proposed Kwinana intermodal terminal is being considered in the State Government’s Westport Port and Environs Strategy.

Main Roads WA has indicated 2031 for Rowley Road and the upgrade of Anketell Road and are working on a plan and timing for the Fremantle Rockingham Controlled Access Highway (FRCAH).

Due to the surrounding major road and rail network and Latitude 32's proximity to the Kwinana and Rockingham industrial areas, Australian Marine Complex and the proposed outer harbor, light, general and transport industries are invisaged within Latitude 32.

Latitude 32, also known as the Hope Valley–Wattleup Redevelopment Area, is a major industrial precinct located within the Western Trade Coast. Spanning around 1,400 hectares, it is planned to support a wide range of industrial uses and meet the long-term needs of the south-west corridor. The project is expected to create thousands of jobs and contribute significantly to Western Australia’s economy. Latitude 32 is governed by the Hope Valley–Wattleup Redevelopment Act 2000, which replaces local planning schemes with a dedicated Master Plan to guide development across the area. The precinct is divided into six development areas, each guided by its own structure plan, including the Flinders (DA1), Wattleup (DA2) and Orion (DA6) precincts, with structure planning for Development Areas 4 and 5 is in progress. These plans align with Westport requirements and include updates to key road connections such as Rockingham Road and Rowley Road.
