The Albany Harbour Board Act Amendment Act 1967 was assented to on 5 October, whereby the Albany Harbour Board changed to the Albany Port Authority. The Chief Harbour Master was re-defined as “...the person for the time being holding the office of Manager of the Harbour and Light Department”.
“Harbour” became “Port”.
The Managing Secretary, Berthing Master (i.e. the Harbour Master) and the Wharf Manager were to be appointed by the Governor. The Port Authority could undertake capital works up to $10,000.
A new Port Administration Building was opened below Brunswick Road on 1 March.
