Victoria unveils state port plans
The Australian state of Victoria has launched a new state port plan which merges the Melbourne and Hastings port authorities and outlines future developments for Hastings and Geelong.
The strategy confirms Hastings as a future container port and ensures it and Melbourne are developed in a complementary way, avoiding duplication of plant and resources.
Other priorities include considering options for new container capacity at Melbourne, embracing the ‘Green Port’ concept by incorporating world’s best practice sustainability principles into future port development, and putting all ports under a single portfolio.
