Introduction

Our immediate neighbours include the Brisbane bayside surburbs of Wynnum and Manly, and riverside suburbs of Hemmant on the southside, and Pinkenba and Hamilton on the northside of the Brisbane River.

However the influence of our activities is as far-reaching as the port’s hinterland area of southern Queensland and northern New South Wales, where the majority of agricultural goods exported through Brisbane are produced.

We support our local and wider communities through sponsorships and the provision of education opportunities. We also provide free school and community port tours through our Visitors Centre.

We have a Community Consultative Committee that is made up of representatives from conservation, business and community groups with an interest in the Corporation’s activities and its impact on neighbouring communities.

This committee provides a link to our stakeholders and local communities through which we raise awareness about the port, its development and plans for the future. The committee meets quarterly.

We also provide in-kind support to a number of revegetation areas located in the local area.
