Wave Attenuator EOI at Snug Cove applauded

by Connexion PR on 21 Nov 2017 News that the wave attenuator project at Snug Cove is finally going to the market for Expressions of Interest has been welcomed by the developers of the Eden Marina at Cattle Bay, Eden.

According to Howard Glenn, National CEO of the Boating Industry Association, the announcement by Mr. Constance is confirmation that the NSW Government has a genuine commitment to better boating facilities in NSW.

“This is good news on all fronts,” said Mr. Glenn.

“At long last, Snug Cove at Eden Harbour will be a safer destination for boaters once the Snug Cove wave attenuator is built. It is heartening to see that the Bega MP, Andrew Constance, has persevered with this project and it is now finally coming to fruition.”

The Snug Cove Safe Harbour wave attenuator and cruise ship wharf extension are both accepted by the Eden Marina developers, as 100% complementary to the Cattle Bay development.

“Projects of this size demand foresight and commitment, and for that we applaud the NSW Government and Minister Constance,” said Eden Marina at Cattle Bay spokesperson, Bob Carter.

“We welcome this as the first step in improving boating in Eden. Boating and Eden are the winners. The Eden Marina development at Cattle Bay will complete the boating scene at Eden with a much-needed world-class marina.”

With the Snug Cove wave attenuator out for EOI and the cruise ship wharf extension well under way, the third piece of the jigsaw at Eden is to secure NSW Government funding for the Cattle Bay wave attenuator to protect the Eden Marina at Cattle Bay. Governments of all persuasions around Australia routinely construct and fund capital works to protect marinas.

“We look forward to the support of boating by the NSW Government, now carrying over to Cattle Bay,” Mr Carter said.

“At this site there is a compelling business case where a NSW Government funded wave attenuator will kick start a 154 berth marina, 4 ½ star international hotel, serviced apartments, restaurant, terrace and conference centre with housing development… a comprehensive resort.”

Eden Marina is located at Cattle Bay, a tranquil location close to the historical seafaring township of Eden. The marina represents the first stage of a major tourist and resort precinct comprising the 4½ star Eden Resort Hotel, restaurant, bar, alfresco dining, residential development, serviced apartments, retirement living and Spa, Health and Wellbeing centre.
