The Long Pond Harbour Authority (LPHA) is a private, not for profit corporation with a mandate of overseeing the long-term sustainable future of the Port of Long Pond. As part of the Canadian Port Divestiture Program, the corporation was formed in 1999 to examine the potential to become an independent port that could transition from the Federal Government. In March of 2013, LPHA took ownership of the port infrastructure and seabed.

The Long Pond Harbour Authority has three staff and is operated by a volunteer board of directors that represent the interests of the area, including commercial, recreational, business, and municipal representation. The LPHA board of directors and employees continue to pursue new ways to grow the port in a sustainable manner, that will continue to provide many benefits to the Port of Long Pond, the Town of Conception Bay South and the Northeast Avalon region.
