The Club Marine Australian Marina of the Year is the peak national award for marinas with a rigorous judging criteria including facilities and infrastructure, customer service and satisfaction, environmental practices, risk management, training and staff development, industry involvement and community contribution. A panel of eight independent judges from around the country assesses the awards. This is the second consecutive win for Empire Marina’s 200-berth marina at historic Bobbin Head in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park just 24 km from Sydney CBD and comes on the back of the company celebrating it’s fifth birthday at Bobbin Head. Since acquiring the facility from the Halvorsen family in 2006 Empire Marinas have completed a major upgrade and redevelopment of the facility, the majority of which was completed in 2008. In accepting the award director of Empire Marinas Darren Vaux said: “It is such a great honour to be a part of an industry that strives for excellence in all aspects of its business. Winning this award for the second time affirms our vision to operate our marina and service facility to exceed our stakeholders’ expectations and it motivates us to strive to achieve more and always be on the top of our game.” The marina boasts 200 berths, wide fairways and 10 swing moorings and has a large hardstand service facility that sets new benchmarks for environmental sensitivity. The public walkway along the waterfront includes a Discovery Trail that chronicles the history of the precinct including Aboriginal rock carvings that are visible in the marina’s security car park. The licensed waterfront restaurant provides the perfect venue to relax and watch the world go by at this vibrant marina. Stephen Smith Operations director at Empire Marinas, picked up a further honour at Marinas 2011 conference when he was confirmed as a Certified Marina Manager by the Global Marina Institute.

World Marine Guide | St Kilda Harbour Marina Breakwater Gets The ...

Approval has been received by Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron from the new State Government to proceed with the necessary works on the breakwater at St. Kilda. The Minister for Environment and Climate Change, the Hon. Ryan Smith, with Andrea Coote and Georgie Crozier, attended the announcement at the Squadron with Stuart Tait, Commodore of RMYS.

Mrs Coote, MP for Southern Metropolitan region, said the marina redevelopment was great news for boating on the bay. "Not only will the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron members have access to a world class marina of 250 berths, but the public will also benefit with a larger breakwater", Mrs Coote said.

Georgie Crozier, MP for Southern Metropolitan region, said the breakwater will significantly improve boating safety and the harbour's aesthetics. This is great news for the Squadron, which only has a handful of long term (20 year) leases left from the 250 berths to be constructed.

Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron is located at the end of Fitzroy Street in a beautifully refurnished historic club house, with catering provided by renown "food & desire", and runs an active sailing programme throughout the year, a strong junior training programme, and a Sailing Academy with fully accredited instructors and courses for beginners through to the more experienced sailor.
