Located 12 nautical miles south of the entrance to Sydney Harbour and 12km from Sydneys central business district, Botany Bay is well serviced by road and rail networks.
The facilities at Port Botany consist of two container terminals with six container vessel berths and a bulk liquids berth - complemented by container support businesses, bulk liquid berth storage facilities and private berths at Kurnell. The channel to the 205 hectare Port Botany estate is 213m wide and has a minimum depth of 15m, with a swinging basin at Brotherson Dock dredged to 14.4m.
The facilities at Port Botany now account for about 70 per cent of Sydney Ports Corporations total trade throughput.
Trade is steadily increasing through the ports of Sydney driven by consumer and business demand. To secure ongoing economic growth for NSW, Sydney Ports is expanding the existing container terminal facilities at Port Botany and plans to expand bulk liquids handling facilities.
