Port Authority of NSW

Port Authority of NSW aims to add value to all aspects of Sydney and NSW ports operations. We work with stakeholders to achieve outcomes that benefit all parties.

The main functions of the Ports Corporation are to:

• Manage and develop port facilities and services to cater for existing and future trade needs
• Facilitate trade by providing a competitive advantage to importers, exporters and the port related supply chain
• Manage the navigational, security and operational safety needs of commercial shipping
• Protect the environment and have regard to the interests of the community
• Deliver profitable business growth

The Authority plays a significant role in managing two of NSW's most valuable resources Sydney Harbour, Port Botany Bay and NSW Ports. We protect these assets diligently and are committed to minimising impacts on the environment and on local communities in everything we do.

The Authority is also fully committed to sustainable development. It does this through the implementation of measures to oversee improvements in the key areas influenced by port operations, such as environmental amenity, air quality, noise, water consumption, energy usage, materials selection and waste management.
