| Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) have received 60 day notice from Hutchison Ports (Sydney & Brisbane Terminals) in terms of Landside and Ancillary Charges effective from 20th April 2026. - Formal Notice HERE for Sydney
- Formal Notice HERE for Brisbane
Infrastructure Levy / Terminal Access Charge Increases:
Sydney: - Imports: up from $213.57 to $233.36 (+9.27%)
- Exports: up from $195.39 to $209.64 (+7.29%)
Brisbane: - Imports: up from $213.78 to $232.79 (+8.89%)
- Exports: up from $196.58 to $210.48 (+7.07%)
Ancillary Fee Increases:
Across both terminals, increases in ancillary charges (truck appointments, sideloader fees, storage, surcharges, etc.) range up to +23.53%
Rationale for Increases: Hutchison Ports cited a partial recovery of significant operational cost pressures over the past 10 months, including substantial increases in land taxes and council rates, as well as a spike in site maintenance costs. This tariff review is seeking only partial recovery of those increases. Despite these pressures, Hutchison Ports reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Australian exporters, with relief continuing to be reflected through lower infrastructure charges on export containers.
