§ NSW Ports recognises the criHcal importance of both Port Botany and Port Kembla to NSW’s future economic growth, development and well-‐being
§ NSW is the largest state economy in Australia and accounts for almost one-‐third of the Australian economy § Both Port Botany and Port Kembla are very high quality assets
§ Port Botany is Australia’s 2nd largest container port and sole container port servicing Sydney, the largest populaHon centre in Australia
§ Port Kembla is Australia’s largest vehicle import facility and a key gateway for coal, grain and bulk products § The combinaHon of these two ports represents one of Australia’s most criHcal and strategic assets § We are commiYed to the responsible management of, and investment in, both assets for the long-‐term due to the
vital role they play in economies of the Sydney, Illawarra and greater NSW regions § We will acHvely seek to work with all stakeholders to maintain high quality port services and effecHve customer

TransiHon Lease Outcomes ¯ Large mulH site operaHon with approved O/H development ¯ SeparaHon of Commercial and Regulatory funcHons – NSW
Ports responsible for all land side funcHons -‐ Port CorporaHon for marine side security
¯ NSWP responsible for nav aids, channel depths, hydrographic surveys
¯ NSWP pays PKPC a monthly fee for all regulatory funcHons other than pilotage – VTC, 50% H/M, capital upgrades etc
¯ Provides 99 yrs of certainty – not subject to Govt changes
DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURES Ø Port Kembla covered by State Environmental
Planning Policy (SEPP) -‐ development either exempt/complying or requires approval -‐ approved plan difficult and expensive to amend -‐ complying development up-‐to $100m Ø Requires Council or Private CerHfier to be engaged Ø Highly prescripHve rigid process – Capacity limits Ø Requires land owners consent Ø NSW Ports required to prepare 5 year development
and environmental plans

enhancement in progress • Design for first bulk OH bulk berth
completed • Approval to increase first OH bulk berth
capacity to 16 mta in progress • OH access road completed • Timber jeYy demolished
PLANNING UNCERTAINTY Ø Long term planning necessitates flexibility; -‐ the future is based on what we know today -‐ Panama Canal will set ship size for many years -‐ future customers/cargo are unknown -‐ bulk cargo V containers requires different thinking Ø Customer land parcels unknown Ø Rigidity of some planning instruments/costs Ø Council and community impacts/pressures Ø Changing Government environment
ArHst’s Impression – Outer Harbour Development
Cement Australia construcHon site -‐ Outer Harbour
COMPETITION v OPTIMISATION Ø Provision of bulk port faciliHes -‐ consideraHons -‐ duplicaHon without demand results in increased cost -‐ opHmisaHon supports efficient infrastructure use Ø OpHmisaHon creates a compeHHve environment -‐ opHmisaHon can lead to compeHHve prices, efficiencies -‐ opHmisaHon can lead to best resource use Ø DuplicaHon maximises port revenue -‐ uses scarce port land/wharf space -‐ reduces cargo flexibility – if incompaHble -‐ encourages cargo compeHHon
CARGO PLANNING CONFLICTS
Ø Long term land use planning– port development conflict
Ø Common use/exclusive use faciliHes Ø Mobile v travelling loading faciliHes/capability Ø Road/rail transport conflicts/capacity Ø Mutually exclusive -‐ containers v bulk liquids v dry Ø Community/environmental maYers – dust/noise etc
.
COMMODITY CONFLICTS Ø Cargo conflicts – woodchips v coal, zircon v silica
sands, grain v ores Ø Cargo incompaHbility – has a cost impost Ø Is the port all things to all people – is cargo best
directed to a more suitable port with exisHng faciliHes
Ø Liability and risk for contaminaHon Ø Ownership of infrastructure(BOO, BOOT, toll, etc)
PLANNING FLEXIBILITY Ø Planning for the unknown – difficulty in a diversified port Ø Consider the current status of the Ports development Ø Address where the Port needs to go to service customers/
region etc Ø What needs to be done to get there Ø What will happen if you do nothing – let port evolve
rather than plan Ø Plans need to be flexible – accommodate changes in use Ø Planning reviews criHcal – realign, refocus, remodel
Planning Changes Ø New unplanned projects – -‐ $30m bulk liquids facility (currently under construcHon) -‐ $50m Grain handling facility -‐ Berth extension to handle Panamax vessels – 14.5m drar Ø Whale watching vessel housed in the Port Ø Bunker Barge/lines boats/towage – compeHHon for faciliHes Ø Changed scope and operaHons of approved Bio-‐diesel project impacHng
risk, land and water side operaHons Ø Planning for the unknown – no easy answer but planning flexibility is the
key
LogisHcs Challenges Ø Sharing of rail between freight and passengers -‐ -‐ passenger trains have path priority -‐ curfews during AM and PM peak periods -‐ closure of many regional grain lines Ø Lack of rail investment on rail freight Ø Timing of rail investments Ø Road congesHon near ports increasing Ø Pressure to increase road user charges Ø Planning/protecHon of arterial corridors Ø Community pressures on road/rail freight
