The Sunshine Coast Mayor Jamieson says a new multimillion-dollar marina will be a “key asset” to the community.
The state-of-the-art complex, which opened for business last month, boasts the region’s first fully enclosed dry-boat storage for up to 160 vessels, and 126 wet berths.
It’s the first marina in the area in more than 30 years.
“The marina is a key asset to our local economy and its completion marks a significant milestone for the Pelican Waters and wider Sunshine Coast community,” Cr Jamieson said.
“The $16 million investment is a welcome boost to the Sunshine Coast marine industry with an anticipated economic impact for the region of $52.68 million and 119 new jobs.
The marina is the culmination of an eight-year collaboration between joint venture partners Pelican Waters Heart, which developed Pelican Waters, and Les Binkin’s Marine Holdings Australia, which designed and operates the facility.
