32 Review of Western Australian ports The Department has led a review of the ports of Fremantle, Esperance and Port Hedland, as representative Western Australian ports, to fulfil an obligation of the Competition and Infrastructure Reform Agreement signed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). This agreement required a review of the regulation of ports and port authority handling and storage facility operations at significant ports to ensure consistency with the principles for economic regulation and competition. The Department commissioned the Allen Consulting Group to undertake the review. It was overseen by a steering committee comprising members from the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, Department of Treasury and Finance, Department of Agriculture and Food and Fremantle Port Authority. The review found no grounds for the economic regulation of Western Australian ports, and concluded that the adequacy of the commercial charter in the Port Authorities Act 1999 makes further regulatory action unwarranted. The review report was finalised in January 2009 and has been provided to the Government for endorsement and forwarding to COAG. www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine Port Authorities Act review As required under the Port Authorities Act 1999, the Minister initiated a review of the Act’s operation and effectiveness. The Department chaired the steering committee that was formed to undertake the review, which commenced in January 2006. The other members were from Fremantle Ports, the Department of Treasury and Finance, the Port Operations Task Force, the Office of the Minister and the chief executive officers of the ports of Bunbury, Dampier and Esperance. The review established that the Act provides a sound and comprehensive framework for the good governance and administration of port authority ports. Since the introduction of the Act, the port authorities have generally performed well and have continued to fulfil their primary role of trade facilitation in an efficient and commercial manner. The review report was submitted to the Minister for Transport in December 2008. It contains 11 recommendations, essentially to improve clarity, commercial administration and operations. *This activity also relates to Goal 5. www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine
The Pilbara infrastructure port access regime The Railway and Port (The Pilbara Infrastructure Pty Ltd) Agreement Act 2004 (TPI Agreement) provides for a Ministerial approved port access regime governing third party access to the TPI and port facilities and infrastructure at the Port Hedland port. The Department convened, chaired and supported the interagency working group which was responsible for negotiating the port access regime with TPI. Negotiations concluded in May 2009 and TPI has submitted a draft regime to the Minister for State Development for approval. *This activity also relates to Goal 4. www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine North West shipping service The Government provides a subsidy for a regular shipping service to the north of the State. This provides an alternative transport service for remote communities and industry, and reduces the negative impact of heavy vehicles by taking freight off the roads. The service is provided by a local shipping company under a contract managed by the Department. The current contract has been in place since late 2005. *This activity also relates to Goal 4. www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine Fremantle port rail containers subsidy Goal 1 Growing numbers of containers are being carried into Fremantle Ports, and an increase in rail’s share of this traffic is needed to reduce road congestion and delays. However, rail incurs extra costs of $70 per container compared to road. Therefore to encourage rail use, the Department administers a subsidy for containers transported by rail between Forrestfield/Kewdale and the Fremantle Inner Harbour. For 2008–09, the rail subsidy budget was $4.5 million and at 30 June 2009, the level of support was $45 per 20 ft container ($95 per 40 ft container). The rates will be reduced as rail volumes build. www.transport.wa.gov.au/freight 33
