Purpose

4 July 2023 Cabinet authorised the Interim
Executive Director Growth and Regeneration in consultation with the
Mayor to take all steps required to finalise and submit the Harbour
Revision Order to the Marine Management Organisation.
The new HRO consolidates and modernises existing local statutory
harbour legislation in respect of Bristol City Docks and Portishead
Pier (‘the Harbours’) and confers further modernised
powers on the Council considered conducive to the efficient and
economical operation, maintenance, management and improvement of
the Harbours. The HRO confers modern powers on the Council to give
general directions to vessels, persons and vehicles using the
Harbours together with powers exercisable by the harbour master to
give special directions.
