Project Stakeholder Advisory Committee (PSAC)

Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC) established an advisory committee as a forum for consultation between the port and a broad range of project stakeholders during the SEES development phase of the project..

Drawn from a wide variety of interest groups, the 18 appointments reflected the need to balance the role of Port Phillip Bay as both the gateway to Australia’s premier port and its importance as a key natural asset.

Chaired by former ABC radio broadcaster, Terry Laidler, the PSAC appointments represented community and environmental groups, tourism, local government, unions, business and port-related interests. Representatives from specific recreational interests such as diving, fishing and boating were also been included.
