The container port is terrible in ever way. It's meant to be quiet and peaceful down there and a place for animals to live free from harm. How is this ok. You'll also be putting danger on the roads, those containers aren't put on the back of trucks very well and fall off killing innocent drivers by all too frequently! Stop it

The effect on the Middle Spit will be instantly devastating as the dredging will remove any support form either side of it. You just have to look at the effect that dredging had on the beaches of Portsea. 1000 Sand bags is hardly a fix especially for the local residence .

Bringing in future landfill from China by the tanker load. Then handing over our current port to China. It's a huge kick in the face to every Australian.
What a shocking legacy we would leave behind for future generations, not enough holes to bury the rubbish we would import.
Look at the big picture people, less stuff more happiness, more environmental stability, healthier people.

Large Ports are mainly automated.
There will be many more jobs lost (in hospitality and tourism) than gained. One idling ship creates massive air pollution as ship fuel is 4,500 times more polluting and harmful than car fuel. There is increased risk of illness, such as respiratory disease or cancer, to increases in regional smog, degradation of water quality, and the destruction of local communities and public lands. Many other reasons this is just a bad plan. People power can stop it.

B. There WILL BE a huge detrimental effect on all the unique biota of the area both marine and Terrestrial.
