Port charges - Reference Tariff Schedule

Standard Terms and Conditions

The Victorian Government introduced the Port Management Amendment (Port of Melbourne Corporation Licence Fee) Bill 2011 into Parliament on 6 December 2011. The Bill proposes Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC) pay an annual Port Licence Fee (PLF) to the Victorian Government at a starting rate in 2012-13 of $75 million, increasing annually by the Consumer Price Index in subsequent years.

As an early indication of PoMC’s approach to this matter, it intends to increase current tariffs (wharfage, channel fees, and other charges) included in the Reference Tariff Schedule coming into effect from 1 July 2012.
