WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENTS Wyndham Harbour The marina is the first new bayside marina in Victoria since St. Kilda in 1969. The first phase of the marina was completed by Bellingham Marine Australia using Unifloat concrete floating docks. Marc Carney, Bellingham’s sales manager for Southern Australia, said: “The 150 berths from 10 to 20m (33 to 66ft) built as phase one are now open, and management has the flexibility to change the slip mix in subsequent phases as the market develops. This includes larger slips or any new configuration they may need.” The fuel dock is now under construction and the master plan includes an array of facilities and services, including drystack and haul out capabilities. The Wyndham Harbour sea wall provides one of the most protected harbours in Australia and encompasses enough water space for as many as 1,000 berths. Construction began in 2011 on 27ha of land and 47ha of seabed. Stage One includes 200 house lots, 100 apartments and 25 townhouses. The lots have the infrastructure in place for buyers to appoint their own builders. In addition to the 150-berth marina, there are two beaches, walking and biking trails and a Marina Square plaza. A further 130 land blocks and 130 apartments are also currently for sale off-the-plan. Home sites directly on the waterfront are premium because, as large as Melbourne is, very few homes are actually on waterfront. Wyndham Harbour’s waterfront homes are a rare commodity on Port Phillip Bay. Wyndham Harbour’s location is considered suburban, or perhaps at this early point exurban. Aspiring professionals early in their careers often choose to buy an affordable home outside the city and commute to town as many do all over the world. In Wyndham Harbour their commute may well be the most pleasant part of their day. A new passenger ferry into downtown Melbourne is currently being tested and will soon begin regular service. Other potential buyers see Wyndham Harbour as a place to retire on water with their boat nearby, or possibly as a second home. At the present time, boating on Port Phillip Bay consists mostly of fishing and yacht racing. Wyndham Harbour offers a new cruising destination within a few hours’ motoring or sailing time from Melbourne. As Wyndham Harbour continues to add new businesses and is joined by other new marinas around Port Phillip Bay, new destinations will provide new dimensions to the Melbourne boating experience. Trinity Point, 118km northeast of Sydney Johnson Property Group and its CEO Keith Johnson have spent more than a decade planning and developing a luxury planned community at Trinity Point. The site is located 88 minutes from Sydney on Lake Macquarie in New South Wales. The lake is a scenic destination with a number of picturesque towns, recreational areas, national parks and beaches among its many attractions. Boaters enjoy the many coves and bays on the lake and can pass through the Swansea Channel to the ocean. From there they can coast down to Sydney Harbour or reach other east coast destinations. Trinity Point is a master-planned living community and a premium resort Trinity Point www.marinaworld.com - July/August 2016 27
