Description
A cargo transit shed, planned by the Railways Department prior to the Board assuming control over all port assets, including rail lines and jetties, was opened. A Board Office was added within the shed.
Within the Board’s first Financial Year ending 30 June 1951, there were 59 ship visits - up by 25 on the previous year. Imports totalled 55,925 tons and exports 8,514 tons. The main export was apples (3,572 tons).
The shed in 1991 had a new life as the Port Theatre under lease to Albany Light Opera and Theatre Company.
