Ports are Australia's gateways to the world moving over 98 per cent of our physical trade each year.

This report provides a basis for improved discussion on port related dredging in Australia and associated environmental impacts.
An overview of the approval processes associated with dredging and at-sea placement of dredged material, the nature of environmental monitoring programs associated with recent port related dredging projects. Using a comparison of monitored environmental impacts with those approved by government the report determines that recent port related dredging projects in northern Australia have performed well.
This report focuses on the specific need for enhanced protection of port facilities, freight nodes and infrastructure corridors leading to and from our national seaports.
Port master plans help clarify and communicate the port vision – they form a critical part in a ports’ ‘licence to grow’.

This study helps Ports from Australia and overseas to produce enhanced master planning.
These Principles have been prepared by the Hydrographic Surveyors Working Group of Ports Australia. They are intended for use in Ports and supplement the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Special Publication S-44 (Standards for Hydrographic Surveys)
