Project IC11_I - Regulation and Controlling of conflicts resulting from protection and utilization of coastal areas and waters
Looking beyond the dredges: The consideration of spatial alternatives in the planning and consenting of port development
Seaports in their role as ‘hubs to the world’ are under an immense pressure to further develop in order to be able to cater for ever larger container ships and thus stay competitive. However, ports are often located in densely utilised and ecologically very valuable coastal areas and there is increased public concern about the side effects, rate, necessity and scope of such development. Vivid examples for this are the ports of Hamburg, Germany, and Tauranga, New Zealand. In both countries, an integrated approach to port development is missing, so that the development of individual ports takes place in a rather uncoordinated manner. There are indications that environmental legislation could take over this coordination task, in particular through assessing alternative port development scenarios as part of the statutory planning and approval processes of individual projects. This research therefore examines, assesses and compares the extent to which the existing legislative provisions governing port development in Germany and New Zealand take into account alternatives with the eventual aim to draw some more general conclusions about the contribution of the instrument ‘alternative assessment’ in achieving a more sustainable development of large infrastructure projects such as ports.
