A Memorandum for Government on a draft text of the revision of the National Ports Policy 2013 (NPP) will be presented to Cabinet in Q1 2026.
Once approved, my Department will complete a public consultation on the draft policy in the first half of 2026. Thereafter the finalised draft will be returned to Cabinet for approval and then publication.
I look forward to the same level of stakeholder engagement with this second public consultation as was achieved during the first, which was based on a thematic Issues Paper to which over 70 responses were carefully assessed by officials in my Department.
