Freight corridor to come under port umbrella

Draft recommendations for Australia’s National Ports Strategy would see ports extending their sphere of influence into inland freight corridors, in order to streamline port interfaces.

Recommendations proposed by the National Transport Commission would allow certain landside areas to be treated as part of the relevant ports and access routes designated as national port freight corridors. Other recommendations include identifying in each metropolitan area the inland intermodal terminals, industrial/warehousing lands or other areas that generate substantial amounts of port-related traffic.
