ACTIONS
Overview of the strategy
Strategic use of ports
• Queensland ports have varying strategic functions including:
– Supporting economic development by linking Queensland to global markets
– Exporting local goods/commodities
– Importing goods for remote communities
– Defence operations
– Cruise shipping
Establishing Priority Port Development Areas (PPDAs)
• PPDAs will be declared at the ports of: – Brisbane
– Gladstone
– Mackay/Hay Point
– Abbot Point
– Townsville
• These ports account for 98% of Queensland’s imports and 87% of the state’s exports by volume.
Priority Port Development Areas (PPDAs)
• Critically located
• Connected to centres of production and demand
Environmental protection
• The government has committed to restricting any significant port development, within and adjoining the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, to within existing port limits to 2022.
• The draft Queensland Ports Strategy builds on this commitment.
Concentrating port development
The Queensland Government will prohibit capital dredging for the development of deepwater port facilities outside of PPDAs for the next ten years.
Efficiency: Reviewing port governance
The government is reviewing commercial governance arrangements for Queensland ports.
The review aims to:
• improve Queensland’s productivity
• minimise operational costs
• maintain a similar level of service at least cost to government
• deliver the most efficient and effective services
• address the needs of local and port communities
Supply chains
• The government is delivering frameworks to improve the coordination of supply chains to and from PPDAs including:
– North Queensland Resources Supply Chain Project
– Central Queensland Supply Chain Coordination Project
– Bowen, Galilee, and Surat Basin Infrastructure
