The Victorian Regional Channels Authority (VRCA) is the channel management authority of the Victorian Government for the Port of Geelong, the Port of Portland, the Port of Hastings, and 13 other regional ports. From 1996 to 2004, all shipping channels in Victorian waters were managed by the Victorian Channels Authority (VCA). The responsibilities of the VCA included navigation systems and dredging to maintain the depth of the major channels. In 2003, the state government passed legislation creating a new Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC) to oversee the operations of the Port of Melbourne. The PoMC absorbed the functions of the former Melbourne Ports Corporation as the commercial port operator, and took over responsibility of the Port of Melbourne's shipping channels from the VCA. The VCA was formally abolished on 31 March 2004, and on 1 April, the PoMC became the channel management authority for Melbourne, while the VRCA was set up to manage the channels of the ports of Geelong, Portland and Hastings. Its inaugural CEO was Ian Scott, the last CEO of the VCA, and its chairman was Michael Dowling. More information...
