  • Inquiry Into the Development of Northern Australia Submission 66
    PORTS NORTH’S SUBMISSION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Ports North appreciates the opportunity to make a submission into the enquiry into the Development of Northern Australia. Ports North is responsible for the operations and management of the Ports in Mourilyan, Cairns, Karumba, Thursday Island, Cape Flattery, Skardon River, Quintell Beach, Cooktown and Burketown. These Regional Ports are critical in enabling regional growth with an Economic Impact Study of the Ports in 2009 highlighting that they account for 17% of the gross regional product and 15% of its employment in the region. The gross value added exceeds $1.7B for Port related operations and Port dependent industries. Northern Australia and, particularly Northern Queensland, has significant opportunities for sustainable development that is not presently being realised. Development of Northern Queensland will drive the creation of wealth, export opportunities, employment, population growth and economic benefits both for the region and Australia. Growth opportunities exist across the region in mining, agriculture, tourism, Defence, education and natural resource management. Ports North’s submission will focus on eight key areas for the development of the region. Tourism and Cruise Defence Mining and Agriculture Transport Links Water, Energy and Communication Fishing Marine Industries Papua New Guinea Servicing TOURISM AND CRUISE Northern Australia and, in particular, Cairns and the region, have some of the unique natural attractions in the world. Tourism accounts for 20% of the local workforce in Tropical North Queensland and is directly linked to the Port of Cairns’ marine business. Ports North invested in world class reef fleet facilities in 2004 which have the capacity to cater for growth in reef passengers into the future.

  • Report: Management of the Great Barrier Reef
    Chapter 5 Managing ports in the Great Barrier Reef region 5.1 The terms of reference for this inquiry require the committee to examine the 'management of impacts of industrialisation of the Great Barrier Reef coastline, including dredging, offshore dumping, and industrial shipping'.1 This chapter therefore focuses on the management of industrialisation of the Great Barrier Reef region, and in particular on issues relating to ports and dredging, including: • a general overview of the concerns about industrial development including ports along the Great Barrier Reef; • an overview of existing ports and proposed expansions and new ports in the Great Barrier Reef region, including the Queensland Ports Strategy; and • an examination of the impacts of ports and the associated dredging and disposal of dredge spoil. General overview of concerns 5.2 Many submitters and witnesses were concerned about 'unprecedented growth' in industrial activities in the Great Barrier Reef region, particularly port developments and the associated dredging and disposal of dredge spoil, which they suggested would increase pressure on the reef.2 For example, Mr Richard Leck of WWF-Australia told the committee that 'the pace and scale of industrial development along the coast in the last few years is unprecedented in the reef's history'.3 5.3 Some submitters referred to a 'declaration by concerned scientists on industrial development of the Great Barrier Reef coast', signed by over 140 scientists in June 2013. The statement expressed concern about: …the additional pressures that will be exerted by expansion of coastal ports and industrial development accompanied by a projected near-doubling in shipping, major coastal reclamation works, large-scale seabed dredging and dredge spoil disposal—all either immediately adjacent to, or within the 1 Term of reference (a).
