This is a TEST for Michaela
Any work carried out on port land generally requires an induction and/or permits to be completed prior to the start of work. This includes new development, extension of existing facilities and maintenance work.
If any of the work involves a change of land use, then we may require the assessment of a development proposal against the Codes in the Brisbane Port Land Use Plan 2020 and Port of Brisbane Technical Standard 2020.
