Dredging - Office of the Environmental Monitor

Dredging Port Phillip Bay


Dredging of Port Phillip Bay to deepen the existing shipping channels began on 8 February 2008. Dredging and associated works were completed on 25 November 2009.

The Office of the Environmental Monitor brings an added layer of scrutiny to the Port Phillip Bay
Channel Deepening Project. The Office provides an independent and transparent view of the environmental performance of the dredging project to the regulators and the Victorian community.

The Office uses a wide range of information and monitoring data to assess whether or not the project has followed the rules set by the Environmental Management Plan.
