Why Choose Us?

Perfectly located

  • The Port of Bundaberg is Australia’s most northern port that is outside the tropical cyclone zone. This means it is a lower risk area to live, operate and invest and still enjoys the advantages of a north Australian location.

  • It is the most northern port, which is outside the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. This means that the site is not subject to the commercial constraints associated with operating within the marine park zone.

  • It is within 1000 nautical miles of the Pacific Islands and Asia trade zones. This provides a competitive advantage for trade with the region.

  • PMB is adjacent to the State Development Area declared in 2017. This is a designated zone for commercial development, providing leverage business growth.

  • PMB is opposite the nominated area for the proposed Bundaberg Defence Support Base.
