Weipa (/wiːpə/)[3] is a coastal mining town in the local government area of Weipa Town in Queensland.[4] It is one of the largest towns on the Cape York Peninsula. It exists because of the enormous bauxite deposits along the coast. The Port of Weipa is mainly involved in exports of bauxite. There are also shipments of live cattle from the port.[5]
In the 2021 census, the town of Weipa had a population of 4,097 people.[1]
