The Pier Hotel Port Hedland's Ownership Changes: A New Era Begins
The Pier Hotel Port Hedland's Ownership Transformed
The Pier Hotel Port Hedland, a historic icon, is now under the ownership of BHP, a significant player in the resources sector. This acquisition comes as the venue's previous owner, Lynne Taylor, announced her retirement after two decades. Renowned as the world's toughest pub since the 1970s, following an article by journalist John Dyson, its reputation has only grown.
Future of The Pier Hotel
BHP’s purchase is amidst a broader voluntary buyback scheme in the West End, where many resources companies are making significant investments in local properties. It is believed that BHP does not plan to reopen the hotel immediately. Instead, they will maintain the property while discussing its long-term plans with the State Government.
