INTRODUCTIONcont’d 2.3 Port safety and environmental goals and objectives It is State Government Policy that there be one manager of recreational and associated commercial activity on Port Phillip Bay and this role has been assigned to Parks Victoria. Parks Victoria has a clear vision and purpose that guides all its operations. Vision An outstanding park and waterway system, protected and enhanced, for people, forever. Purpose Parks Victoria exists to: • Conserve, protect and enhance environmental and cultural assets 2.4 Role of the plans in port safety and environmental management The role of this plan is to act as over-arching guidance to direct Parks Victoria, tenants, service providers, agencies and community members to achieving outcomes for effective and efficient safety and environmental management within the local ports of Port Phillip. This Plan is not intended to displace or supersede past or proposed operational activities and plans such as audits, assessments, management plans and partnerships. It instead will complement current management and bring a whole of port perspective to safety and environmental management in the local port. This plans have been developed and based on the Ministerial Guidelines (February, 2005) provided by the Department of Infrastructure. One plan has been produced to cover both safety and environmental management issues in the local port of Port Phillip. It has been identified through the plan whether issues relate to safety or environmental management. • Responsibly meet the needs of our customers for quality information, services, and experiences • Provide excellence and innovation in park (and waterways) management • Contribute to the social and economic well being of Victorians The “Bays for Life” Strategy (Parks Victoria, 2003a), developed by Parks Victoria in 2003, outlines Parks Victoria’s vision for investment and management to improve safe navigation, access and enjoyment of the bays and coastal areas. This Strategy has five key initiatives: • Provide for safe navigation and equitable access, • Enhance diverse precincts, • Develop and support a strong bay tourism industry, • Undertake environmental management and protection, • Ensure co-ordinated management across both bays. These key areas have been used in Section 9 of this plan as a means of organising risk management actions. 10 Safety and environment management plan for the local port of Port Phillip
PORT DESCRIPTION 3 3.1 Areas of management and boundaries Under the Port Services Act 1995, SEMPs are required to cover the designated port waters and port lands that make up the local port of Port Phillip. These include • All the waters of Port Phillip Bay including Corio Bay and Swan Bay, as described in the Government Gazette of November 29, 2001. • The waters of the navigable rivers and creeks flowing into the two Bays, in the case of the Yarra River, waters downstream of the Bolte Bridge and the Maribyrnong River downstream of Footscray Road. • Port Lands include various Crown Allotments described in the Government Gazettes of 29 February 1996 and 26 June 1997 for which Parks Victoria is the designated Committee of Management as listed below. The Committee of Management areas for the Point Lonsdale Jetty and the Swan Bay Jetty have altered with the declaration of the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park under the National Parks Act 1975. The status of Marine National Park supersedes the Committee of Management designation. The area excised from the Marine National Park around Point Lonsdale Jetty is still covered by a Committee of Management designation. The channel excised from the Marine National Park around Swan Bay Jetty is only partially covered by the designated Committee of Management. The status given to the rest of the channel needs to be resolved. Maps of the local port area, including detail of the lower Yarra and Maribyrnong Rivers and the Committee of Management areas are in Figure 1. The area covered by the Committee of Management at Queenscliff Harbour will change in the near future with the leasing of a substantial part of the area. The local port overlaps with the management areas of the Port of Melbourne Corporation, the Port of Geelong and the Victorian Regional Channels Authority in the local port of Port Phillip. The areas of overlap are shown in Figure 2.
