This parklike facility will provide a community social centre for meetings, barbecues, family celebrations, evening walks and the enjoyment of our harbour's beauty.

Visiting boaters attracted to the new facilities will spend money in the community - this improved marine tourism has an economic impact in the range of $1 million per season.

The community at large can also get involved with this project - please see the Fundraising section of this website.
