Key issues and concerns

The draft SCWA Hobart Railyards Urban Design Strategy and planned hospital raise important questions.

. How is the Hobart Port to respond to increasing demand now and into the future if it is restricted in space and has limited facilities? This submission demonstrates future growth in the areas of Antarctic Shipping and Cruise Liners, and repair and maintenance. . Given this future growth and related concern regarding the ability for the port to maintain current operations and make allowances for future needs, has consideration been given to the fact that dimensional requirements need clear definition for space, handling and separation purposes, and that these allowances are imperative to the successful and sustainable operations of the Port of Hobart. The categories include:

. wharf storage space for both incoming and outgoing product, including bonded goods in the case of Antarctic freight . cargo handling space for access and loading/unloading operations such as cranes and forklift trucks . buffering space to deal with noise and emissions of air-born particles and spays Related to this is the anticipated existence of established and accepted industry standards on dimensional requirements that neither the TPN nor TMN have the resources to investigate or address. Has the SCWA addressed these issues and if so the TPN and TMN would welcome the opportunity to review the processes undertaken and conclusions reached. . It is our understanding that the usual context of land use planning in Tasmania allows for at least three defined land uses along the lines of – ‘Permitted’, Discretionary’ and ‘Prohibited’. If so, we would question whether such tenets would be applied to land use planning around the Sullivan’s Cove precinct. It would seem that some of the proposed permitted uses such as hotels and hospitals do not fit well with the established/prior land use of the working port and if they are allowed then potential objections against the port are likely to arise from users of these non-port facilities threatening at the very least, the port’s working hours, and at worst its entire operation. . We note the SCWA’s frequent references to the precinct needing a ‘gritty edge’ but neither understand what this means, nor accept that such is an appropriate means by which to allow the proposed uses. .

Security and safety

. The security of wharf operations and safety of employees and authorised visitors in secure areas of the port is governed by international, national and State legislation and policy. . Major Tasmanian ports significantly upgraded security to minimum criteria for preventing and suppressing acts of terrorism against ships, passengers and cargo to be compliant with the new International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) developed by International Maritime Organisation and associated complementary Australian legislation. . Significant safety issues such as movement of heavy machinery, transport vehicles and management of hazardous materials are associated with cargo handling and other activities within parts of the Port of Hobart. The management of these issues and duty of care to employees and authorised visitors requires that public access not be permitted. . Access by the general public to designated secure port areas on an on-going or intermittent basis is untenable. The proposal to allow foreshore access to secure areas of Macquarie wharf on a continuous or intermittent basis would require access to restricted areas and is completely incompatible with legislative and safety obligations.

Recommendations

1. The land use planning and development of Sullivans Cove (including the railyards site) must take account of the full range of maritime uses of a working port and potential growth areas. 2. Planning for the new hospital and other non-port activities must incorporate intensive mitigation measures to offset noise, spill lighting, spray drift and other impacts of maritime activity so that maritime use of Macquarie wharf precinct is not compromised. 3. Access by the general public to designated secure and/or hazardous areas of the port on an on- going or intermittent basis compromises security, legislative requirements and the safety of the public and port users and must not be permitted. 4. Should Princes Wharf not be available for shipping and maritime activity in the future Macquarie Wharf must be extended. 5. The hospital and other non-port land uses must not reduce the capacity of the port to provide for cargo storage and handling and sufficient buffer areas to adjacent non-port land uses. 6. The preferred area for the hospital must not encroach on the minimum boundary for working port areas indicated by Tasports in its response to the proposed new hospital. 7. The State Government require Tasports to release its strategic plan for the Port of Hobart. 8. The State Government reinvests to ensure wharf and other Port of Hobart infrastructure is adequately maintained and Macquarie wharf No.5 and 6 and the container crane are returned to full service

Conclusion

Over the past few years it seems development decisions have been made that have had direct impact on the port. These decisions have been made in isolation and continue to be made on an ad hoc basis to the detriment of the working port.

It is imperative that any development or change of use of the port be looked at in the context of the port as a whole if we are to avoid the pitfalls of permitting conflicting uses that endanger the survival of the working port or reduce the ability of the port to operate effectively and expand. We do not want a similar damaging situation of conflicting uses that was created by permitting residential development in the vicinity of Sydney Airport; and that which is currently playing out in Brisbane with the building of a multi use (residential, commercial, cruise) Multiplex Portside Terminal that has compromised cruise liner operations by not being sited where they required but rather to suit the developers of the apartments and retail tenancies.

Both the TPN and TMN have been working towards increasing business for the port and have plans in place to develop the industry further. We would hope that these plans for the expansion of the Tasmanian economy can be consulted and taken into account.

Appendices

Appendix 1: Cargo Macquarie Wharf August 2008

Appendix 2: Port of Hobart, international gateway to Antarctica

. Hobart has been a major staging post for Antarctic expeditions for more than 200 years. . Hobart is also an important international Antarctic gateway for those accessing the Antarctic, subantarctic and the Southern Ocean. Today Tasmania provides the hub of Australia’s Antarctic Program and is a centre of excellence for internationally recognised Antarctic and temperate marine science activities and other innovation from industry. . Over 65 per cent of Australia’s scientists specialising in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean field live in Hobart. It is the home to international organisations and Hobart is recognised internationally as a major centre for Antarctic science, research, management and logistics. . Hobart has a reputation as one of the best international gateways to the East Antarctic, Subantarctic islands and the Ross Sea and Southern Ocean region. . Hobart’s deep sea port offers high quality fuel, competitive port charges and a coordinated approach to refuelling, waste disposal, customs clearance and resupply service delivery. . Hobart is conveniently located, well-serviced, cost-effective and strategically important base for Antarctic, subantarctic and Southern Ocean programs. These attributes make Hobart and ideal choice for Antarctic, subantarctic and Southern Ocean management, research and logistic endeavours.

Appendix 3: Antarctic Sector in Tasmania

. Businesses serving the Antarctic, subantarctic and Southern Ocean community are a key industry sector for Tasmania. This sector has grown principally because Hobart, as an important international Antarctic gateway, provides the hub of Australia’s Antarctic Program. . The 2006 – 2007 Antarctic Expenditure Survey recently revealed that the Tasmanian Antarctic sector was worth approximately $147.7 million for the 2006-2007 financial year. This is broken down into $93.1 million for Tasmanian-sourced goods and services, labour and other expenses. Externally-sourced goods and services, labour and other expenses came to $54.6 million. The table below details the size of the total annual Antarctic sector expenditure and its breakdown from the 1994-1995 to the 2006 - 2007 financial years.

Appendix 4: Value of Antarctic and Southern Ocean ships using Port of Hobart

. The regional Port of Hobart services bulk commodities and general container cargo, and supports scientific, tourist and maintenance facilities. . It is also an important port for international and regional ships assessing the Antarctic, subantarctic and Southern Ocean waters. . Vessel operators and crew members berthing in Hobart contribute to Tasmania’s economy be accessing fuelling, provisioning, stevedoring, maintenance, accommodation and recreational services. . The French Antarctic vessel L’Astrolabe uses Hobart as its home port and gateway to the Antarctic when conducting marine science research and resupply activities to Dumont D’Urville. Typical expenditure by the French Antarctic Program as a consequence of L’Astrolabe using Hobart to resupply Durmont D’Urville station is estimated at $535 000 per ship visit . International fishing vessels, such as the South African vessel, Isla Graciosa, and Spanish vessel, Galaecia, also make a significant economic contribution to the Tasmania economy when they use Hobart as a gateway port to access the Antarctic. In 2003, these vessels conducted exploratory fishing activities in the Ross Sea in accordance with the CCAMLR conservation measures. For each ship visiting Hobart, the approximate expenditure is estimated to be in excess of $170 000 per visit. Expenditure included fuelling, provisioning, ship maintenance and crew accommodation services.

Appendix 5: Tasmanian Polar Network’s Interests

. The TPN’s vision is for Hobart to become the pre-eminent international gateway to the Antarctic, Subantarctic and Southern Ocean, and to supply cold climate goods and services throughout the world. . The TPN’s mission is to promote Tasmania as an international centre of excellence for the supply of cold climate goods and services, and as the supplier of choice to operators in cold regions with an emphasis on the Antarctic, Subantarctic and Southern Ocean. . Each year the international community spends $US700 million on Antarctic science alone. This expenditure, together with associated investment in logistics and supply for tourist and other operations, represents another major opportunity for competitive local suppliers. The Network is actively targeting international Antarctic Programs to use the Port of Hobart as ‘the Gateway to East Antarctica” . Tasmanian industry is an internationally competitive supplier of many Antarctic goods and services ranging from foodstuffs to environmental engineering expertise. A key component of the Network’s efforts to exploit current and emerging business opportunities is to market the State’s capabilities to a wide audience of Antarctic and cold climate operators. Often, the fact that Tasmania as a whole can supply a wide range of goods and services will be essential for individual companies to secure individual contracts, necessitating a cooperative marketing approach focused at a general industry level. . The effective communication and promotion of these natural competitive advantages to targeted national Antarctic programs and organisations is crucial to further development of the Antarctic sector in Tasmania. By actively increasing the number and satisfaction of Antarctic programs and organisations based in Hobart, the Antarctic sector will increase in size, diversity and economic value. With strategic and targeted marketing activities the TPN is ideally positioned to communicate these competitive advantages to potential targets.

Appendix 6: The Tasmanian Polar Network

. The Tasmanian Polar Network is an organisation of more than 60 members drawn from all areas of the Tasmanian Antarctic community including private businesses, educational institutions, research bodies and government agencies. . Due to its geographic location, Hobart has over 200 years of association with the Antarctic continent. This long association with the Antarctic has enabled the State to develop and attract world class expertise, and many of these experts have formed the TPN. . The TPN is a central point of contact for all Antarctic business related enquiries. . The TPN members are able to provide a wide range of specialised goods and services including:

. Land, air and sea transport . High technology, communication . Waste management printing and design . Shipping agents, provedoring and . Engineers and consultants port services . Fuels and gasses .
