在Wyndham下面不远处(靠近Avalon机场)正考虑扩建维省第二个货柜码头, 届时应该会提供很多工作岗位, 工人需要在附近的房屋居住, 因需求问题, 到时候房价及房租应该会上升!
但最担心的是交通问题, 将来会多很多大货车穿梭来往, 到时候不敢想像West Gate Freeway会有多堵

Point Wilson urged as container port over Hastings

THE state government has been urged to rethink plans to build Victoria’s second container port at Hastings with a new report revealing it would be better placed between Werribee and Geelong.
Industry groups will use the report, known as the Western Transport Strategy, to advocate for a site in the Bay West area, around Point Wilson, as an alternative to long-standing plans for a $10 billion port at Hastings.
The report, obtained by the Weekly, states industry would benefit from a port between Werribee and Geelong, because of its superior road and rail infrastructure, and proximity to key distribution centres in Laverton North and Truganina.
‘‘Although Hastings is an established port, it has major transport challenges,’’ the report states.
‘‘It would increase reliance on the West Gate corridor and providing a national standard gauge rail connection through Melbourne’s south east is difficult.’’
According to regional development lobby group LeadWest, which commissioned the AECOM report, transport and logistics industries were increasingly located in the western suburbs and the idea of a major port being situated in the region made sense.
‘‘I’m not saying Hastings is a stupid idea, it’s about giving some thought to alternative options,’’ chief executive Anton Mayer said.
‘‘The port should be built where business wants it.’’
Wyndham Industrial Liaison and Development Committee chairman Mick O’Donnell said the location of Melbourne’s second major port was ‘‘imperative’’.
‘‘Surely upgraded port facilities located adjacent to the most intensive commercial area in Australia is more logical than the remote Hastings,’’ he said.
While the former Labor government identified Hastings as its preferred site, Opposition ports spokesman and Tarneit MP Tim Pallas said new advice suggested links to interstate rail networks and connections to the M1 and the planned Metropolitan Outer Ring Road made Point Wilson a better option.
‘‘We’re asking for a serious reconsideration of the strategy before the government starts signing any cheques,’’ he said.
However, Ports Minister Denis Napthine said Hastings was the most suitable option because it was already an operating deep-water port and wouldn’t require dredging.
‘‘While there are transport links in Bay West, there are also challenges in terms of the depth of the channels and berth sites.’’
Dr Napthine said the government would consider a Bay West port as part of its long-term planning, flagging a need to cater for more than eight million containers by 2050.
Wyndham Council chief executive Kerry Thompson said the Bay West site warranted further investigation.
A spokesman for Geelong Council said it would work with the government and industry in any investigation into a Bay West container port.
Federal Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese’s spokesman Jeff Singleton said the federal government would encourage the state government to consider all options |
