ABC Report on Port Kembla announcement

– NSW Ports chief executive Marika Calfas has called for the state’s trade needs to be prioritised ahead of a nuclear base, while unveiling plans for an offshore wind farm facility at Port Kembla.

The private consortium which manages Port Kembla plans to build a plant for the assembly of wind turbines at the port’s Outer Harbour.

NSW Ports has already received approval for a second container terminal at the site, to cater for the state’s shipping needs once Port Botany reaches its capacity, predicted to be in the 2040s.
