Spirit of Tasmania Passenger and Freight Terminal
View Full Width
Spiire was engaged by GeelongPort to provide local town planning and surveying services for the Spirit of Tasmania.
The development at Corio Quay, in North Geelong, provides a dedicated, large-scale passenger and freight terminal that has transformed the Spirit of Tasmania’s customer experience.
Our town planners worked closely with GeelongPort to help facilitate the relocation of the Spirit of Tasmania’s Melbourne-based operations to Geelong. The team was initially engaged to identify project issues and risks and to recommend a planning approvals pathway.
Planning advice considered various matters affecting the site including easements, cultural and European heritage issues and the presence of terrestrial and aquatic native vegetation and future vehicle access and parking requirements.
Together with GeelongPort, we worked closely with City of Greater Geelong Council to secure a planning permit for the site and with DELWP to secure the necessary Marine and Coastal Act approval to facilitate the start of this major project in Geelong.
Our Surveying and Spatial team provided title re-establishment and full site feature survey for the redevelopment and compiled the location of existing underground services which also informed the design of civil infrastructure.
In addition, the team developed a full 3D point cloud model which was used to inform the design of new pier and loading ramps to the Spirit of Tasmania as it arrives to the Port.
We’re proud to be part of a project that creates major economic, employment and tourism opportunities for Geelong, the Bellarine and the wider G21 region.
