  7. Why? City side cost is high and rising

  8. Why? Cities and international gateways almost synonymous

  9. Show that supply could match demand - possible layout including in city - how that layout might be achieved - opportunities for stakeholders - role of ‘performance indicators’ What?

  10. Fail to plan = plan to fail Some views put to us: “we managed to water it down” “not a matter of national significance” “why the Commonwealth intervention” A proposed compact: - recognition / protection of the plan What?

  11. We all see the plan ie. it is public - community, industry Who does the plan? - an over-rated question A logical initiator is the port controller - since the port can’t move Co-opt other parties - especially roads and railways - integrate with city planning Who?

  12. Greater confidence for investors and community A platform to improve competitiveness A proper role for ports Better cities Results
