Cruise capacity: Detailed Business Case

The NSW Government made a commitment in the NSW Cruise Development Plan, released in July 2018, to assess different options for addressing cruise capacity constraints in Sydney.

In 2019, Port Authority commenced a Detailed Business Case (DBC) to explore whether a third cruise terminal at Yarra Bay or Molineux Point would be feasible. This work was put on hold at the start of the pandemic when the cruise ban commenced. 

The NSW Government has announced that the proposed site for a third cruise terminal at Yarra Bay or Molineux Point will no longer be pursued. 

Alternative options will be explored to meet the growing demand for cruise tourism, and to ensure that NSW retains its share of Australia’s $5 billion cruise industry.
