3.37 SECURITY FENCING– GERALDTON PORT
1.
PURPOSE
1.1
Security fencing protects the Port of Geraldton Landside Restricted Zone (MWPA
LRZ commonly known MSIC area) assets from intrusion and potential attacks of
vandalism and terrorism.
1.2
This document provides guidelines and requirements in regard to the installation or
replacement of security fencing for perimeter boundary of the LRZ.
1.3
Also provides guidelines for all other security fencing requirements within the Port
precinct.
2.
PRELIMINARY PHYSICAL SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
2.1
Security fences will not stop a determined intruder. To be effective, such barriers must
be augmented by security force personnel and other means of protection, detection,
delay, and assessment. Security fences are used primarily to:

define the perimeter of a restricted area

provide a physical and psychological deterrent to entry whilst sign displayed
that entry is not freely permitted

prevent accidental entry

optimize security force operations

enhance detection and apprehension of intruders

channel and control the flow of personnel and vehicles through designated
routes
3.
LAND-SIDE RESTRICTED ZONE
3.1
At Maritime Security (MARSEC) Level 1 the MWPA has established a land–side
restricted zone. The LRZ is designed to restrict access to the security regulated port
area, to which only authorized Maritime Industry Participants (MIP) have access.
3.2
The land-side restricted zone perimeter fence-line consists of chain mesh, with card
operated gates where the gate crosses any port related road. The fence line is at all
times more than 30m from the face of any berth and will run parallel to the berth face
except when sides of the fence will turn at right angles and run to the point of the
berth face. The boundary of the LRZ is shown in Attachment A.
3.3
Responsibility
3.3.1
Maintenance of access control to the security regulated port land-side restricted zone
rests with MWPA and Port Facility Operators who have management control over a
facility within the security regulated port.

3.3.2
On each occasion that boundaries of a restricted zone are altered, MWPA Port
Security Officer (PSO) shall notify Department of Infrastructure and Regional
Development (DIRD) advising the reason(s) for alteration, its new boundaries and
any additional measures.

The onus is on the proponent to develop a variation proposal complete with detailed
plans and photos including project methodology and procedures.

The confirmation of approval notice would take approximately four weeks after the
proposal has been submitted to Office of Transport Security (OTS).
3.4.4
Any minor changes or alterations shall require written permission and confirmation of
approval will be given less than 24hrs from PSO or DPSO.
3.4.5
Where tasks or projects involve construction or maintenance activities then the work

REPORTING
4.1

4.1.4
The Port is equipped with video surveillance cameras. These cameras are operated
remotely from the security gate house to scan the roadways, perimeter fencing and to
seaward and are monitored by security guards 24 hours a day.
4.2
Lock and restricted keys
4.2.1
The PSO is the only person authorized to issue restricted keys for specific areas of
the Port. The key forms part of the MSIC arrangements and must be kept in your
possession whilst working at the port, as well as safe and secure at all other times.
4.2.2
Any gates/padlocks opened, must be closed and secured after use. The key is to be
used only for operational requirements associated with MWPA business. The key
remains the property of the MWPA and must be returned on request or at time of
cessation of contract or employment with the MWPA.
4.2.3
It is the responsibility of the key holder opening the gate to ensure all personnel
transiting through possess an MSIC or visitor card.
4.2.4
There is to be no access for visitors unless the visitors have been registered in the
MWPA visitor’s log. Fines, set out in legislation, apply to any individual if visitors are
not registered. MWPA security must be immediately informed if:


Any gate, padlock or key is damaged.
Any gate or padlock does not close. You will be required to supervise the
gates until security arrives.
4.3
Penalty
4.3.1
Under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Regulations 2003 it is a
Federal offence to compromise the security of the Geraldton Port and huge penalties
apply.
4.3.2 Key holders should understand that the issue of any restricted key is a privilege,
which the Mid West Ports Authority has the right to revoke at any time without
warning.
4.3.3 Key holders should be aware that the security gates are monitored at all times by
security cameras and that footage could be used to determine offenders.
4.3.4 Any breaches of either the Maritime Transport & Offshore Facilities Security Act or
the Mid West Ports Authority Maritime Security Plan may result in penalty and
