Land Use and Infrastructure Analysis For Freight

CLIENT

SECTOR

SERVICE

NSW Ports – the private operator of Port Kembla and Port Botany and associated assets – required data analysis and research activities to inform the revision of the NSW Ports Master Plan to 2040. 

Our focus was on identifying key issues and understanding a potential future state to support their decision making.

In developing this information, we undertook:

  • desktop review of existing studies, plans and strategies
  • spatial analysis of infrastructure networks, key sites and land use
  • analysis of population growth trends and forecasts;
  • analysis of import/ export goods and movement of containers
  • preparation of forecasts for container movements; evaluation of infrastructure capacity in existing networks and planned projects.

Through our work, we were able to provide NSW Ports with an understanding of the key issues for NSW Ports assets and maintaining an efficient and productive freight and logistics network for the future. This has provided a key evidence base to support the direction for advocacy streams to pursue for the organisation.

Astrolabe was subsequently engaged to support NSW Ports with drafting of the Master Plan and providing advice on the visualisation of data and concepts for the document.
