Project Overview

In 2005, Sydney Ports Corporation obtained Government approval for the expansion of the existing port through reclamation of 60 hectares of land. The expansion is being constructed adjacent to the existing Patrick terminal and will provide significant additional capacity to meet projected long-term trade growth.

Features of the expansion:

• 1,850 metres of additional wharf face for five extra shipping berths
• 60 hectares of reclaimed terminal land
• deep water berths with depths of up to 16.5 metres
• dredging of approximately 7.8 million cubic metres of fill material to create shipping channels and berth boxes
• dedicated road access to the new terminal area
• additional rail sidings to provide rail access to the new terminal area
• additional tug berths and facilities
• rehabilitation and expansion of Penrhyn Estuary to create a secure estuarine environment
• community facilities including boat ramp, look outs, pathways
• first berths to be available for trade in 2012.
