Port of Brisbane looking towards 2060

Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) has embarked on a multi-year project to envisage what Australia's leading port and logistics hub could look like in 40 years.

The visioning project is seeking to articulate a long-term vision for the Port of Brisbane and will be underpinned by futures thinking and the most extensive research and consultation program PBPL has ever undertaken.

PBPL CEO, Neil Stephens, said PortBris 2060 was a unique opportunity for port stakeholders to help create a blueprint for the future.  

"The PortBris 2060 project seeks to (re)imagine what a new type of port could look like and how it should work to tackle the supply chain challenges of global significance and provide a global model for maritime sector innovation and growth," said Mr Stephens. 

"As a port community, we're already working together to support the long-term, sustainable development of the Port for Queensland.

"This is an opportunity to take that even further, by engaging with subject matter experts to really explore, unpack and contemplate the shifts, challenges and opportunities ahead of us and by working together, set a vision for the Port decades from now. 

"While none of us have a crystal ball, it's our hope the PortBris 2060 project will ultimately deliver a blueprint for the future and help guide investment by PBPL and our stakeholders."

Led by strategy consultants Business Models Inc and supported by a consortium of subject matter experts, the project has commenced with a significant phase of research that will help develop a range of scenarios that will be widely consulted on.

In the New Year, PBPL and the PortBris 2060 project will engage with a wide range of port stakeholders including its customers, supply chain partners, government, community and environmental stakeholders to seek their feedback and inputs into the project.
