Ocean Reef
breakwaters complete
AUSTRALIA: Construction is nearly complete on the first stage of the Ocean
Reef Marina development in Joondalup, Perth, Western Australia (WA). Both
of the new breakwaters are now built at full height and, by mid-August, the
northern breakwater had reached its final height.
The next phase of the project
includes dredging the marina basin,
and landside clearance to provide fill
for land reclamation and future earth
works. Local contractors WA Limestone
and Italia Stone Group, who also built
the breakwaters, are now involved in
this second step, which is expected to
finish early to mid-2023.
When the marina is complete, it will
have 550 berths, dry stack for 200
boats, boat ramps and trailer parking.
More than 1,000 residential homes
are planned in a mix of housing types,
along with retail and commercial space
and over 5ha (12.4 acres) of community
space.
Ocean Reef Marina is a McGowan
Labour Government project being
delivered by DevelopmentWA in
collaboration with the City of Joondalup.
Lands Minister, John Carey, says: “The
new Ocean Reef Marina is a landmark
project for our State and has reached
yet another significant milestone with
the commencement of this next phase
of works, further laying the groundwork
required to create an iconic coastal
destination for Perth.”
“Comprehensive and careful planning
has taken place to ensure the local
environment and fauna are protected
while the works are undertaken.”
Joondalup MLA, Emily Hamilton,
describes the project as a “terrific step
forward” for the city. “Not only will this
development become a tourism hotspot
with the creation of a world-class
marina and WA’s first coastal pool, it
will create thousands of new jobs that
will be a major injection into the local
economy.”
Suntex expands
into California market
USA: Suntex Marina Investors has purchased Seaside Boatyard & Marina
(formerly known as The Boat Yard – Channel Islands) in Channel Islands
Harbor, Oxnard, California. It is the company’s first acquisition in coastal
California.
Seaside is a 17 acre (7 ha) fullservice
facility offering 122 slips for
vessels of 30 to 60ft (9 to 18m) and 22
end ties accommodating boats up to
85 feet (26m), as well as a 490-slot dry
storage facility. It is Ventura County’s
largest recreational vessel yard and is
equipped to haul-out vessels up to 75
tonnes, and staffed for painting and
finishing, glass fibre and woodwork,
engine, mechanical and rigging repairs.
Plans for the property include
remodelling the main building,
refurbishing and upgrading the
facilities and infrastructure, and adding
additional lighting to the dry storage
area.
“We are excited to gain a quality
coastal product in the highly desirable
Oxnard community,” said Mike Warntjes,
senior vice president operations Suntex
Marinas. “Seaside Boatyard & Marina
is the foundation to our future strategy
around coastal growth in the southern
California market. With our planned
improvements, we intend to bring an
elevated customer experience for our
