Building on the Port of Cairns Cruise Shipping Demand Study undertaken by us in 2010 – 2011, we are working with project partner Arup to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Port of Cairns Shipping Development Project.
Building on the Port of Cairns Cruise Shipping Demand Study undertaken by us from 2010 to 2011, we worked with project partner Arup to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Port of Cairns Shipping Development Project.
The project proposed widening and deepening of the Cairns entrance channel in order to accommodate large cruise ships that frequent the region and allow such ships to moor along Trinity Wharves, bringing significant regional economic benefits.
As technical lead for marine studies, we also prepared a comprehensive dredge management plan and reactive monitoring programme, and undertook agency and stakeholder consultation.
We provided technical inputs in the form of:
The project EIS was accepted by the Queensland Government and released for public consultation in 2015.
We were engaged by Fremantle Ports to project manage and provide expert technical advice on marine environmental assessment of a major port facility.
The Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) has developed an environmental monitoring program which aims to provide an understanding of the condition, values and stressors operating at and adjacent to the port area.
We were engaged by KPA to provide site supervision, technical and management services for the delivery of the Broome Channel Optimisation project to enable port access for large shipping and cruise vessels.
The proposed expansion of the Port of Townsville involves significant dredging of sea bed materials to provide for vessel access, maneuvering and berthing.
