Port of Melbourne's compliance with pricing regulations
Overview
Our role
The Port of Melbourne must submit a tariff compliance statement to us annually, outlining how it has demonstrated compliance with the legislated Pricing Order (amended as at June 2026). Every five years, we are required to assess whether there has been any significant and sustained non-compliance with the Pricing Order.
Between five-yearly reviews, we provide interim commentaries on the tariff compliance statements to guide the Port of Melbourne and identify important issues impacting port users and interested parties.
Our commentaries are not an assessment of the Port of Melbourne’s compliance with the Pricing Order, nor do they provide findings on whether any non-compliance was significant and sustained.

Five-yearly inquiries into compliance with the Pricing Order
We are conducting our second five-yearly review of the Port of Melbourne's compliance with the Pricing Order.
Tariff compliance statement 2026-27
The Port of Melbourne has provided its tariff compliance statement for prices that apply for prescribed services from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. This includes supporting information (confidential appendices not published) such as its tariff compliance model.
Unlike prior years, we will not be preparing an interim commentary on the Port's 2026-27 tariff compliance statement because we are currently undertaking a five-yearly review.
You can read the Port's public submissions and our previous interim commentaries under the Resources tab.
