# Port of Valencia expansion and development > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/port-of-valencia-expansion-and-development > Updated: 2026-10-05T12:07:34.000Z. Sources: 7. Developments: 2. The expansion of the Port of Valencia has progressed through both judicial and collaborative development phases. In September 2026, the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community dismissed a legal challenge regarding environmental requirements for a new container terminal project. The court ruled that a 2007 environmental impact assessment remains valid for the 2021 project proposal, as the modifications do not constitute a new project requiring a fresh assessment. However, environmental groups have indicated intentions to appeal to the Supreme Court. Following these legal developments, the Port Authority of Valencia and the Valencia City Council approved a 31.8 million euro agreement to create the Desembocadura València Park. This project involves mixed financing, with the Port Authority contributing 16.2 million euros for works within the port service area and the City Council providing 15.6 million euros for external landscaping, renaturalization, and urbanization. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-05: Valencia Port and City Council approve 31.8 million euro park project The Port Authority of Valencia and Valencia City Council have signed a 31.8 million euro agreement to develop the new Desembocadura València Park through shared investment and management. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/valencia-port-and-city-council-approve-318-million-euro-park-project ### 2026-09-08: Port of Valencia expansion cleared by Valencian High Court The Valencian High Court ruled that the 2007 environmental assessment remains valid for the Port of Valencia's 660 million euro expansion, though legal appeals regarding dredging continue. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/port-of-valencia-expansion-cleared-by-valencian-high-court --- Cite as: Port of Valencia expansion and development.
