The Australian Logistics Council welcomes Transport for NSW’s proposed reforms to the Ports & Maritime Administration Regulation and the Port Botany Landside Improvement Strategy (PBLIS). ALC supports a modern, precinct-wide regulatory framework that strengthens transparency, improves landside efficiency and reflects the interconnected nature of container supply chains. ALC emphasises the need for strong safeguards—such as clear performance triggers, risk-based escalation pathways, force majeure provisions, and protections against premature deregulation—to ensure fair, consistent and evidence-based oversight. ALC does not support proposals that reduce operational flexibility, including take-or-pay slot models or limits on pre-discharge bookings. National alignment on data, pricing and performance standards remains essential to minimise duplication and ensure a transparent, competitive and resilient freight system.
