Karratha Suburb Overview

Karratha is a town adjoining the port of Dampier in the Pilbara region of Western Australia which was developed from the 1960s to accommodate the processing and exportation workforce of the Hamersley Iron mining company and, in the 1980s, the petroleum and liquefied natural gas operations of the North West Shelf Venture. The town’s name comes from the cattle station from which land was reclaimed for the development. Karratha in the local Aboriginal language means ‘God’s own country’ or ‘Sacred Earth’. The town is the seat of government of the Shire of Roebourne.

Karratha is located approximately 1,535 kilometres north of Perth and 850 kilometres south of Broome on the North West Coastal Highway.

Karratha is composed of 9 main suburbs: Karratha Town Centre, Bulgarra, Pegs Creek, Millars Well, Nickol, Nickol West, Baynton, Baynton West, Tambrey and one industrial area, known as both the LIA and KIE. Karratha’s housing development continues, with new villages and suburbs being built.. Nickol has been expanded, with Nickol West completed in 2008.

Karratha came into being in the late 1960s due to the tremendous growth of the iron-ore industry and the need for a new regional centre caused by a shortage of land in Dampier.
