  • Review of National and International Ports
    Attachment D: Review of national and international ports National and World Best Practice MacroPlan has reviewed best practice for Australian ports and International ports in relation to a number of factors including but not limited to: Road Access Rail Access Airport Access Port Access Expansions Plans / Constraints The Port of Brisbane The Port of Brisbane, located at the mouth of the Brisbane River, handles over 28 million tonnes of cargo per year. It is the third largest port in Australia, behind Port of Melbourne and Port of Sydney. It is also the fastest growing port in Australia with an average annual growth of around 12% over the past ten years. Road access to the Port of Brisbane is via the Brisbane Multimodal Terminal (BMT). The BMT is behind the container terminals, allowing easy access for road haulage. The BMT has been crucial in allowing the landbridging of cargo. Super B-Double trucks are used to increase efficiency as well as to reduce environmental impacts. Each one of these trucks can carry up to three 20ft containers. The Gateway Upgrade Project is expected to increase the number of lanes on the Gateway Motorway. There is also to be a second bridge constructed across the Brisbane River to add extra lanes. The Gateway Motorway is currently congested and this new project is expected to alleviate congestion pressures and allow for faster transportation of cargo. The construction of both the Gateway Motorway deviation and the second bridge is expected to be completed by late 2010. ACT Planning & Land Authority Page 17 of 28 Figure 6.

  • 667 DEVELOPMENT of the PORT of BRISBANE [By E
    667 DEVELOPMENT OF THE PORT OF BRISBANE [By E. V. STEVENS] (Read at the meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland on 22nd May 1952) The official boundary of the port is the area embraced by a line extending from Caloundra Head across to Moreton Island, thence down both Moreton and Stradbroke Islands to the southern extremity of the latter, crossing to the mainland and back along it to the point of commencement, and includes all creeks and navigable waters within that area. Commercially, one may say the River is the Port and it' is with the river and its entrance that this paper is mainly con­ cerned. The Port was declared free by proclamation in the N.S.W. Government Gazette 10/2/1842, reading, "The ninth clause of an Act in Council No. 3 passed in the third year (1833) of His late Majesty William the Fourth prohibiting vessels from touching at any Penal Settlement without leave from the Governor, no longer applies." The effort to establish Cleveland as the capital city had failed, and immediately following the declara­ tion of Brisbane as a port of entry, the first Deputy Collector of Customs, W. A. Duncan, arrived by "Tamar" in June, 1846. The first Custom House, one story of brick and stone, on the same site as the now existing one, was erected by Jas. Atkinson in 1849. It was demolished in 1886 and the present building erected by John Petrie. (See NOTE 1.) Earliest entrance to the port was by way of the South Passage between Moreton and Stradbroke Islands.
