Carr flags end of Sydney Harbour as port

"Sydney Harbour will no longer operate as a container terminal, under a major overhaul of the New South Wales State port system.
Premier Bob Carr used his address to the state Labor Party conference to announce that stevedoring leases at Darling Harbour East, Glebe Island and White Bay, would not be renewed when they expire over the coming years.
But he says the plan is good news for Newcastle and Port Kembla, with both regions expected to pick up a greater share of trade.
Mr Carr says the decision to stop using Sydney Harbour as a container terminal would free up 33 hectares of unbroken foreshore.
"[It's] land for open space, housing employment and waterside entertainment," he said.
He says there will also be an expansion of Port Botany, but says a commission of inquiry will be set to examine the plans before any approval is given."
