16 years ago

For the second year running Port Botany’s Container Terminal Expansion has been given the tick of approval from an audit looking at environmental and planning impacts.

Ports and Waterways minister, Paul McLeay, welcomed the results of the audit of the A$1bn (US$896m) expansion, now in its third year of construction. “The Port Expansion project is going beyond simply meeting minimum requirements – it’s now achieving positive environmental outcomes,” said Mr McLeay.
