Port Kembla Port Corporation, a corporation owned by the Government of New South Wales, is responsible for the management, development and operation of seaport facilities at the Port Kembla, near Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.
Port Kembla Port Corporation was established in 1996 pursuant to the State Owned Corporations Act, 1989 (NSW) and the Ports and Maritime Administration Act, 1995 (NSW).
In the 2011-2012 financial year, the port handled 32.2 million tonnes of cargo (a decrease of 1.4 million tonnes) and welcomed 1,010 vessels (a decrease of four on the results for the previous year).
Equity in the corporation is held jointly by the Treasurer of New South Wales and the Minister for Finance and Services, who hold their shareholding in trust on behalf of the NSW Government.
In April 2013, the NSW Government announced that it would be granting a 99-year lease to NSW Ports Consortium, whose partners are Industry Funds Management (including Cbus, HESTA and HOSTPLUS), AustralianSuper, QSuper, and Tawreed Investments (a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority), for an amount of A$760 million. The lease was granted in conjunction with a lease over Port Botany for A$4.31 billion. Some employees of the Port Kembla Port Corporation are expected to transfer to the new private sector owner. The government pledged that A$270 million of the sale proceeds be allocated towards infrastructure projects in the Illawarra region.
