BTRE – June 2007 Stevedoring Issues Improved VBS and IPART Inquiry SPC has long supported a VBS which is equitable, efficient, transparent and recovers costs ACCC investigation into stevedores’ R&D procedures prevented our attempt to bring both stevedores together SPC supports NSW Government’s IPART inquiry as it will improve transparency and knowledge of system Submissions to IPART closed last week (8 June 2007)

BTRE – June 2007 Port Botany Logistics Taskforce Taskforce provides opportunity for the various arms of Government to be coordinated under one process IPART Inquiry already underway Possible use of Super B doubles within the Port Botany precinct under review Assists with the coordination of NSW Gov approach for Auslink 2 funding.

BTRE – June 2007 Stevedoring Issues Should we have a 3 rd stevedore ? Government’s position is that it would prefer a 3 rd stevedore but hasn’t yet decided whether current stevedores are to be excluded from process SPC proposes to seek EOI’s later this year A third stevedore will provide increased competition However, economies of scale will be reduced and existing operators may slow down investment in new equipment New stevedore doesn’t have to be in all major container ports Brisbane’s decision to appoint Hutchison is a significant one.

BTRE – June 2007 Complete Port Botany expansion Develop Enfield ILC subject to obtaining formal NSW Government planning approval and establish business model Pursue Federal and State Government agreement to develop Moorebank as an ILC Assist NSW Government to develop policy for improved road access to Port eg expand M5 and/or build M4 East Pursue Improvement of VBS Promote increased share of rail use (by carrot or stick) to 40% Increase industry hours of operation – 24/6 and ultimately 24/7 Obtain an equitable share of Auslink 2 funding Future Actions to Secure Lifeblood of NSW Economy BTRE – June 2007
