Potential threat to the Western Treatment Plant (Werribee, Vic)?

["Richard Nowotny" <>]

The following sentence in a news report in today's Melbourne Herald Sun
about the proposed sale of the Port of Melbourne is surely of concern.

I was aware that a second Port Phillip Bay container port proposal had been
floated but understood that it was to be outside the immediate vicinity of
the Western Treatment Plant shoreline (although still having the potential
for significant impacts on this RAMSAR listed site). However, "between Point
Wilson and Little River near Avalon airport" puts it right in the heart of
key bird habitat. I suspect a reporting error....but maybe not.

"Labor is keen to develop Bay West, a second container port between Point
Wilson and Little River near Avalon airport; the Coalition wants to develop
the Port of Hastings."
