In creating these \u201cGreen Port Guidelines\u201d, Sydney Ports Corporation aims to encourage port developers and operators to adopt sustainable business approaches and to encourage innovation in design and operation. The guidelines provide simple strategies and practices to increase the efficiency and sustainability of developments in the port area. Accompanying the guidelines is a checklist of all factors considered in the guidelines and this must accompany all applications for new developments or activities submitted to Sydney Ports Corporation by their tenants. The guidelines cover 10 key areas within the broader environmental aspects of resource consumption and environmental quality including materials selection, waste management, energy use, water consumption and emissions to name a few. These areas are then broken down into suggested measures and the environmental, social and health benefits of implementing these ideas.<\/p>\n
