The Australian port of Newcastle is set to spend AUD 13m ($10m) to build a permanent luxury cruise terminal facility.
Construction work is expected to start in the middle of 2017 and finish in 2018 with the first ships due to arrive later that same year.
Work will involve the construction of a purpose built terminal of about 3000 square metres, a dedicated car park, enhanced wharf infrastructure and improved accessibility for ship provisioning.
