The Victorian Government established the Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA) on 1 January 2012.

PoHDA is responsible for the direct management of the operations of the Port of Hastings.

The channels in Western Port and harbor control are controlled by the Victorian Regional Channels Authority.

Consistent with Government strategy and Ministerial Direction dated 27 May 2015, PoHDA pursues bulk and non-container related business and works with proponents who are seeking to use and/or develop facilities at the Port.

BACKGROUND

POSITIONED FOR GROWTH | PORTOFHASTINGS.COM

PoHDA has statutory responsibilities described in the Marine Safety Act 2010, in relation to the maintenance and provision of port infrastructure. Ship safety in port waters during approach and at berth is the responsibility of the Victorian Regional Channels Authority (VRCA) and Harbour Master (employed by VRCA) through statutory responsibilities to Transport Safety Victoria (TSV).

PoHDA has the following plans in place to assist with the management of port related risks:

• Port Safety and Environmental Management Plan;

• ‘Whole of Port’ Emergency Management Plan; and

• Maritime Security Plan.

The Port has a long industrial history, operating harmoniously with the community and sensitive environment with no major environmental or safety incidents.

PORT REGULATION


PORT REGULATION

Overview of PoHDA’s Health, Safety and Environment Management System framework


The Port of Hastings was created in the 1960s due to the its deep water channel and extensive adjacent industrial land suitable for development (Long island point precinct illustrated in photograph).

STRATEGIC AND PLANNING CONTEXT


The land surrounding the Port of Hastings has been reserved for port related uses since the late 1960s.

Western Port was identified for the establishment of largescale process industries that require a deep water port and extensive land adjacent.

Large areas of land have been zoned Special Use Zone 1 to facilitate uses that derive benefit from being located near a port.

There is approximately 320 hectares of Special Use and Port Zoned land at Crib Point and over 3,200 hectares of similarly zoned land north of Hastings

For contrast the Port of Melbourne occupies approximately 500 hectares.

CRIB POINT ZONING


The purpose of Port zone is to provide for uses which derive direct benefit from co-establishing with a commercial port and to provide for the ongoing use and development of Victoria’s commercial trading ports in accordance with the relevant port development strategy prepared pursuant to the Port Management Act 1995.


Section 91K of the Port Management Act 1995 sets out the requirement for port authorities to prepare a port development strategy every 5 years.

Following approval from the Minister for Ports, the Hon. Melissa Horne, the Port of Hastings 2018 Port Development Strategy (PDS) was released on 31 May 2019.

Developed in consultation with port users and the broader port community, the PDS provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of the Port of Hastings.

The PDS considers the role the Port can play in meeting the logistics needs of the State given its transport links, land availability, and existing and potential port infrastructure.

PORT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY


The PDS identifies Crib Point for development opportunities with a focus on “bulk liquids and gases with pipeline connections to major storage and distribution outlets”.

The PDS also states that Crib Point “is strategically important based on its exceptional deep water that can cater for large vessels, accessibility, recognising it is an old refinery site and the need for continual maintenance of buffer zones to the Crib Point community which is important in planning for the precinct.”


Port Development Strategy Pg. 62


The PDS key recommendations include:• Retention of all port zoned land at Crib Point

to preserve port development options.• Investigating the use of some port zoned land

located north of Hastings for general industry.• Development of critical transport links

including: Western Port Highway; East/west connections to Peninsula

Link; and Road connections to Gippsland.

CRIB POINT JETTY


The Crib Point Jetty facility was constructed in 1965 in association with the construction of the adjacent BP Refinery. The refinery at Crib Point was established after BP Australia purchased a large amount of land adjoining Western Port in 1963. The refinery closed down in 1986, around 20 years after its construction.

CRIB POINT JETTY


Today, the Crib Point Jetty is a key piece of state owned infrastructure. Berth 1 is used for the importation of unleaded petrol and diesel, critical to Victoria's transportation needs.

From time-to-time Berth 3 is used for offshore oil and gas pipe spooling projects, that is only possible due to the unique advantage of having a large tract of clear land available adjacent to deep water access.

The Crib Point jetty is adjacent to 320 hectares of Special Use Zone 1 land and a smaller parcel of Port Zoned land.

EES Summary document July 20 Pg. 8


THE ADVANTAGES OF THE PORT OF HASTINGS INCLUDE:

• bulk trading for 50 years; a long history of industrial activity including as an export facility for the former adjacent refinery;

• existing deep water channel, for ships with drafts up to 15m;

• approximately 3,500 hectares of appropriately zoned land to support port development;

• proximity to State’s natural resources / business and industry networks;

• the Crib Point Jetty has exceptional physical attributes for port development, offering significant opportunity for expanding bulk trades utilising existing infrastructure;

• PoHDA’s focus is on liquid-bulk and break-bulk growth and the importation of LNG product fits with the current and future Government approved plans for the Port and Crib Point.
