Visits key to building relationships
With exports a lynchpin of Queensland’s strong economy, investment in ports infrastructure is vital to maintaining the momentum.
To build upon the existing collaborative relationship between the Office of Government Owned Corporations (OGOC) and the ports, in 2007–08 OGOC staff visited the ports at Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and Brisbane as part of their ongoing program of site visits.
They also reported to the Queensland Ports Association’s Executive Conference on the transition of GOCs from statutory to company GOCs.
As the State’s GOCs began their $4.8 billion capital program during the year, close relationships between OGOC and the GOCs became increasingly important.
As well as the port visits, OGOC maintained its relationships with the energy sector, visiting the Tarong, Tarong North, Stanwell, Kareeya, Barron Gorge and Kogan power stations, as well as the privately owned Oakey, Braemer and Daandine stations.
