Copy of Jacobs reports assessing the strength of Victorian Ports to support offshore wind
Dear VIC Department of Transport,
I am seeking the release, under Freedom of Information, of the report, commissioned by the Department of Transport (now DTP) .
This report was referenced in the state planning referral lodged by the Port Of Hastings Corporation on 27 July 2023 proposing the development of a facility for construction for the offshore offshore wind. The referral reference is 2023-RO6.
The quote from the referral, for easier identification of the relevant report is included below.
"The Victorian Government, through the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), has undertaken a study to determine the most suitable port in Victoria to support the construction of the OSW sector. DTP (then Department of Transport) engaged Jacobs to assess the relative strengths of Victorian ports to support offshore wind generation. The report identified the Port of Hastings as best placed to support the construction of OSW and recommended the proposed development of the OTRA site for this purpose."
I look forward to your positive reply.
Yours faithfully,
Daniel Brownsden
