Issues (i)

• Victorian Port Strategic Framework (DOI) clearly
  identifies Hastings as a supplementary container
  port (to the Port of Melbourne) but also general
  cargo port. (NB Existing activity to continue but
  potential for bulk cargo and break-bulk (cars)
  before long term container use)
• Community engagement-The POHC is committed to
  active involvement of the community in the
  development of the port.
• Access to Hastings-future infrastructure costs
• Road, Rail links, corridors (planning schemes?),
  compulsory acquisition, easements, std gauge
  line, public transport links, Land ownership,
  state, private (POHC ownership?)
• Sites for growth?
• Port Design- elements for port activity, wharves,
  infrastructure
• Environmental concerns MP WP Biosphere
  Reserve, Ramsar site- protecting what we have,
  legislative obligations.

Issues (ii)

• Special Use Zone (Port related uses/Conservation
  areas)
• Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme
  (amendments?)
• Short term uses?
• Land ownership?
• Crown land, DSE, DTF other state agencies, MPSC
  land
• POHC owned land assets (Stony Point, Crib Point,
  LIP)
• Shell/ Mobil site, Crib Point-Future???
• Channel deepening- implications for Hastings,
  progress plans to have Hastings ready when
  needed.(2030)
• POHC needs to be a viable and sustainable
  business operation and the State requires an
  appropriate return to shareholders (the state)
  for the use of the ports assets.

16
How does this impact on SEATS?

• SEATS Rural/Agricultural products (timber,
  paper, coal etc)
• A viable Port of Hastings may provide-
• Additional trade route (reduced steaming time for
  ships)
• Containers, bulk and break bulk services
• Potential cost savings (closer to market)
• Import and export capability
• Access to market/s
• Direct access to port from Monash Fwy-Gippsland
• Site for future industry growth
• We need your long term thinking, planning and
  support for our development to provide you with
  these opportunities.
