3 The Proposal
3.1 Background to the Proposal
Terminals Pty Ltd is an Australian company providing service to industry in the form of bulk liquid
storage facilities leased to customers at strategic Australian port locations. These port locations are at
Port Botany (Sydney), Coode Island (Melbourne), Corio (Geelong) and Osborne (South Australia).
Whilst each of these facilities is wholly owned by Terminals, they are situated on land that is leased
from the relevant Port Authority.
Port Botany is one of the three major ports in New South Wales with one of the predominant trades
being petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and liquid chemicals. The majority of
industries in the Port Botany industrial region are involved in the storage and distribution of these
products and are located on Friendship Road in the vicinity of the existing and proposed Terminals
storage facility.
Terminals have owned and operated the existing bulk liquid storage and handling facility for hazardous
and non-hazardous bulk liquids at Port Botany since 1979. The original facility has undergone three
subsequent expansions, each involving the construction of additional storage capacity. A summary of
these previous development applications is provided in the table below.
