Licensing & Legislation

Much of the operations and activities undertaken by Sydney Ports Corporation, its tenants and associated industry are associated with environmental licences and state and federal environmental legislation.

Sydney Ports Corporation ensures its operations are conducted within the guidelines of applicable environmental licences and legislation and endeavours to guide its tenants and the port industry to do the same.

Under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 Sydney Ports Corporation is required to hold a number of Environmental Protection Licences in relation to the operation of specific berths. A number of our tenants also hold licenses for scheduled activities at the port.
