Sydney Ports obtains planning approval for
Enfield Intermodal Logistics Centre

        It gives me great pleasure to inform you all that this morning, the NSW Minister for Planning,
        The Hon Frank Sartor approved Sydney Ports' application to develop an Intermodal Logistics
        Centre (ILC) at our 60-hectare site at Enfield.

        The ILC will incorporate an intermodal terminal with the capacity to handle
        a throughput of 300,000 TEUs per annum, rail sidings, warehousing,
        empty container storage, a light industrial-commercial area and a
        community and ecological area.

        The centre will help to achieve Sydney Ports' and the NSW Government's target
        of increasing the number of containers transported by rail to and from Port Botany
        to 40%. Enfield will be a critical link in Sydney's intermodal network, connecting
        businesses in the western suburbs to the global market.

        Container trade through Port Botany grew by 12% last year and is forecast to
        continue to grow, highlighting the need for additional intermodal capacity to
        serve Sydney's cargo transportation needs.

        Sydney Ports will now proceed to deliver this project in conjunction with the
        private sector and more information will communicated over the coming months.
