The Safety and Environmental Management Plan is prepared under Part 6A of the Port Management Act 1995 (Victoria), and provides the basis and direction for Safety and Environmental Management within Gippsland Ports.

The Management Plan promotes improvements in safety and environmental compliance and performance across all aspects of port activities and supports the management of related issues.

An independent audit of the Plan has found that it complies with the Ministerial requirements and that the Gippsland Ports Committee of Management Incorporated, as Port Manager, is complying with the documented Safety and Environment Management Plan.
