What’s happening at the site
Crown Lands is considering the lease of Crown land, which extends over the waterway, by direct negotiation, to the existing tenant.
Part of the land is currently held under lease by the existing tenant (shown by blue outlined area in the above diagram) which operates the site as a commercial marina.
The tenant, The Quays Marina, proposes to expand the marina footprint (in the area shown by red shading above) for a development that includes a new marina arm with fixed berths.
