Port Hedland is a strong community based town, with lots of history.
There is not too many mine sites available within a short driving distance to home, no flying away from families etc.
The local sporting facilities are good and are in the process of upgrade and expansion.
Port Hedland football club is upgrading the entire oval with a resurfacing project and better facilities.
The local Turf and Yacht clubs are also in the process of upgrades with new facilities being constructed.
Shopping / retail therapy is not the greatest by any means but does provide essentials.
In the near future the local government has plans of new shopping centres in the South Hedland area, which is 18klms inland of Port Hedland.
Primary Schools seem to provide adequate education, but hard to comment as my kids are not at that age group yet.
BHPBilliton have constructed a day care centre in the suburb of Cooke Point, unsure if this is available to the public or just employees.
Some great little playground areas have been implemented around the Port Hedland area and along the beach front.
Port Hedland is a great little family town, great fishing and camping for the family.
There is also the Karijini National park about 3.5Hrs drive towards Mt Newman township inland of Port Hedland.
Yes it does get Hot up here in summer, but with airconditioned housing, cars and shopping centers makes it bearable for the family.
Winter conditions here can not be beaten, best time for camping and family activities.

Heaps of opportunity for business growth or career enhancment.
