New port facilities

Construction is starting this year on number of new port facilities at Glebe Island and White Bay. Construction materials: cement, sand, aggregate; will arrive by trucks and ships. Concrete will be mixed on site and trucked out to many of Sydney's construction-boom building sites. The port will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and so will the trucks. This is what we know so far...

1. Hanson's Concrete Batching Plant
2. Multi-User Port Facility Glebe Island
3. Western Harbour Tunnel Construction Site
4. Civil Site for vehicles

These port facilities are being built to support Sydney's pipeline of infrastructure projects which seems to grow in size almost weekly.

Project pipeline

The WestConnex website lists fourteen “related projects … to address the needs of a growing Sydney”. Some are not expected to be finished until the end of next decade, but almost all that have started are behind schedule, over budget and the cause of grief for residents in their path. Sydney will be living with the impacts of this building spree for a very long time. It must be done safely.
