SUMMARY 1 1.1 Purpose of plan Parks Victoria intends to use this plan as a management tool to systematically examine the full scope of activities in the local port of Port Phillip and to ensure that the significant risks to safety and environmental management are identified and control measures are integrated into Parks Victoria’s management and operating systems. Any identified gaps in controls will be addressed to minimise or eliminate risks. 1.2 Port management structure Parks Victoria is the Local Port manager for the designated ports of Port Phillip and Western Port and is required to undertake the statutory functions as Local Port Manager under section 44 of the Port Services Act 1995. Responsibilities include managing facilities for navigational safety and port infrastructure for commercial activities including tour operators, ferry services, fishing fleets and aquaculture operations and recreational activities such as sightseeing, boat moorings and fishing. Parks Victoria is divided into five management regions. The two local ports are managed within the City and Bays region. The local Port of Port Phillip is managed by the City and Waterways and Port Phillip districts. Within each district are local management areas which manage particular areas of the local port. 1.3 Statement of port safety and environmental values The role of the plans is to act as over-arching guidance to direct Parks Victoria and the community to achieving outcomes for effective and efficient safety and environmental management within the local ports of Port Phillip and Western Port. 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 • 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, developed by Parks Victoria in 2003, outlines Parks Victoria’s vision for investment and management to improve safe navigation, access, enjoyment and protection of the bays and coastal areas. These Plans will complement current management and bring a whole of port perspective to safety and environmental management in the local ports. It is State Government Policy that there be one manager of recreational and associated commercial activity on Port Phillip Bay and Western Port and this role has been assigned to Parks Victoria. Parks Victoria has a clear vision and purpose that guides all its operations. Safety and environment management plan for the local port of Port Phillip 5
