Planning port
purpose
To support the effective and competitive operation of Victoria’s local commercial and trade ports, at the national and international levels, and to promote its continued sustainable operation and development.
Strategy
Ports for Melbourne, Geelong, Hastings and Portland provide sustainable development based on approved port development strategies.
Identify and protect critical transport corridors that connect ports to a wider transport network.
Manage any impact of commercial trade ports and any related industrial developments in the vicinity
Sensitive use to minimize vibration, slight spillage, noise and air emissions from the port.

port
purpose
Plan and manage land near commercial trading ports for development and use compatible with port operations and provide reasonable comfort expectations.
Strategy
Protect commercial trade ports from intrusive sensitive and incompatible land use port environments.
Planning and managing the land around the port to accommodate the important economic advantages of relying on or gaining access to port operations.
Ensure that industrial land around commercial trading ports is maintained and continues to support the port as a key freight and logistics area.
Identify and protect critical transport corridors that connect ports to a wider transport network.
Ensuring that any new use or development around the commercial trading port does not compromise the port’s effective and non-cursive operations.
Ensuring the use and intensity of development does not expose people to unacceptable health or safety risks and consequences associated with existing major hazardous installations.
Ensure any use or development in the port environment:
Compliance with environmental protection policies.
Consider the planning

Planning airport
purpose
Strengthening the role of Victorian airports and airports in national economy and transportation
Infrastructure to promote their siting and expansion and to protect their ongoing operations.
Strategy
Protect the airport from incompatible land use.
Ensure that land use decisions are integrated in airport planning, that appropriate land use buffers are in place, and that services are provided to the relevant companies that serve the airport.
Ensuring that airport planning identifies and encourages active airports that complement its role, enabling operators to effectively develop airports, making them efficient, practical and contributing to national aviation needs.
Ensure that the Melbourne Airport is internationally efficient and competitively operated at home and internationally.
Protect the surrounding area of Avalon Airport, making it an airport freight, training and service focused on full-size jets.
Recognizing the role of Essendon Airport in providing aviation-related professional functions, freight and logistics and its potential future role as an important employment and residential area are based on current functions.
By supporting Moorabbin Airport, Moorabbin Airport is considered an important regional and national aviation asset to continue to be used as a general aviation airport, ensuring that future developments on the site encourage the use of such support, enhancing the national aviation industry and supporting opportunities for expansion at airports, improving Victorian area.
Maintain Cook Airport as the airport of operation for Moorabbin Airport.
The long-term choice of the new general aviation airport in the southeast of Melbourne’s metropolis is preserved to ensure that urban development does not infringe possible locations, buffer zones or flight paths.
Avoid setting up new airports for other purposes in areas with greater long-term value to the community.
Planning the location of airports, existing and potential developments in the vicinity, and land transportation systems need to be integrated.
Plan the visual comfort of any land used or developed and influence the status of the airport and the airport.
Plan the area around all airports to:
Any new use or development that could compromise the safety or efficiency of the airport is excluded.
The adverse effects of aircraft operations (eg, noise) are considered in the specification to limit the use and development of affected land.
Any new use or development that may damage existing airport extensions in the future shall be excluded based on the airport’s approved strategy or overall plan for aviation operations.

Freight link
purpose
Develop key transportation gateways and shipping links and maintain Victoria’s status
The country’s premier logistics center.
Strategy
Support major transportation portals as an important venue for employment and economic activities
by:
Protect incompatible land uses at designated ports, airports, freight terminals and surrounding areas.
Encourage adjacent complementary uses and job creation activities.
Improve the freight logistics network, optimize freight handling, and maintain efficiency and network effectiveness.
Support the development of freight and logistics regional freight corridors in strategic locations in key areas.
Plans to improve shipping connectivity for commodities, markets and operations.
Link production and manufacturing to export markets.
Improve transportation efficiency, increase the capacity of transportation gateways, and protect urban cityscapes.
Promote the capacity of regional and metropolitan interstate freight terminals to increase in Melbourne.
Ensuring adequate land supply areas allows high volume freight customers to find adjacent interstate freight terminals.
Minimize the negative impact of freight on urban facilities.
Protect major shipping routes on major freight routes by identifying and identifying incompatible uses in areas expected to have strong cargo activity.
