Port of Hasting

Westernport Bay legislation sets government on collision course with environment and community groups

Thursday, 30 June 2011: Media release New legislation due to be debated in State Parliament today will set the Victorian Government on a collision course with environment and community groups over plans to expand the Port of Hastings in Westernport Bay.

The legislation will establish a new Port of Hastings Development Authority to fast-track port expansion plans and transform the area into a highly urbanised industrial zone, projected to be busier than the Port of Melbourne.
