Government to review port planning

[ March 16, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

The government is to review the national policy statement for ports, published in 2012. It says that while the statement continues to provide an appropriate framework for planning decisions on ports infrastructure and associated development, such as road and rail links, it is important to ensure the statement continues to support decision making effectively. In the Freeports bidding prospectus, the government set out its intention to review the national policy statement for ports in 2021. The existing national policy statement for ports will remain in full effect during the period of the review.
