Replacement of timber and steel piled static marina, near 50 years old, and with basic equipment; with a modern construction and compliant floating marina with improved facility for access by aged and disabled seafarers, and increased capacity to safely berth the increased numbers of recreational yachts and powerboats that frequent the Recherche Archipeligo; plus improving ship to shore access for cruise ship tourism passengers visiting Esperance. The floating decking will simplify the emergency services transfer of rescued seafarers, provision is included for emergency service craft docking, and the community access jetties will facilitate boating access to the Taylor St tourism precinct, and serviced support to Southern Ocean sailors/boaters transiting past Esperance between eastern Australia and Western Australia.
