Planet

At Port Authority, we recognise our responsibility to preserve and protect the natural environment and heritage assets across the sensitive coastal, marine and urban areas in which we operate. We are committed to minimising environmental impacts and safeguarding heritage values. As the lead agency for responses to marine pollution incidents from Fingal Head, Port Stephens to Gerroa, south of Port Kembla, we operate a specialised fleet equipped for firefighting, oil spill response, salvage and vessel assistance. We also manage active port lands and cruise terminals in busy urban environments, balancing operational demands with the challenges of working at the port– city interface. Furthermore, we are proud custodians of more than 40 heritage-listed items and places, including lighthouses and State significant buildings.

Port Authority is leading by example and demonstrating a strong commitment to addressing climate change through ambitious net zero targets and decarbonisation efforts. We remain focused on adapting to a changing climate and ensuring our assets, including wharves, buildings, landside infrastructure and aids to navigation, remain resilient for the future.
