Management/Monitoring Plans

The Channel Upgrade project has a number of Management and Monitoring Plans to implement controls and monitor our environment.  

The monitoring programs are reviewed by the Independent Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) before all plans are assessed and approved by Government Regulators.  Local Traditional Owner representatives are consulted as part of the development of the Management Plans.  Each Management Plan relates to a different aspect of the Project and some will overlap.

Community and Stakeholder Engagement Plan (CSEP)

As per the conditions in the Coordinator General’s evaluation, a Community and Stakeholder Engagement Plan (CSEP) has been developed to ensure the people who live, work, visit or operate near the Port are consulted and kept informed about the Channel Upgrade project.

The Channel Upgrade project CSEP will ensure that:

  • The Port has the opportunity to consider the input of a wide range of community members before making decisions; and
  • Community members are given the opportunity to contribute to the planning and development process.
