Furthering our responsibility to, and stewardship of, our natural environment

Port Authority facilitates the safe transit, anchoring and berthing of essential commercial shipping in various biodiverse port waters from the far north of the State in the Clarence River estuary at Yamba to the far south in Twofold Bay at Eden. We also manage active port lands and cruise terminals in urban environments with vibrant and distinct port / city interfaces.

Port Authority is leading by example and demonstrating our strong commitment to addressing climate change through our ambitious net zero targets and decarbonisation efforts. We also recognise the fundamental importance of adapting to a changing climate and ensuring that the coastal assets that we own, manage and operate within including terminals, buildings, landside infrastructure and shipping channels are resilient.

We appreciate that we operate in sensitive urban environments and acknowledge the challenges and responsibilities of operating at the port/city interface.
