- Imports/ Exports
- Without the port, Melbourne would
not have as easy access to all of the
imported products
- Gives the ability for Melbourne
to import things we don't/ can't
manufacture here, such as cars and electronics
- We are able to export
our own products such
as agricultural products,
which boosts our
economy
- Without the port, Melbourne would
not have as easy access to all of the
imported products
- Environment & Sustainability
- Planning has been done to create the PoMC’s Climate
Change Strategy, which aims to reduce energy consumption
of the port, which will make it more environmentally
sustainable
- Projects such as the channel deepening project ensure
that the Port of Melbourne will be able to keep up with
the constant increase in size of ships meaning that the
port of Melbourne will continue to be able to handle the
amount of ships coming in and out of the port.
