Proposed Marina

Our planning is currently in draft form and is expected to evolve. Presently, the plans include a 310 Berth Marina, featuring 10 Superyacht Berths, a Public Boat Ramp, and an enhanced swimming beach at Hobbs Bay. This new marina will be adjacent to the existing Gulf Harbour Marina and may also include minor associated commercial facilities such as marine retail shops and a café, as well as a public beach recreation and swimming area. Notably, no industrial services or haul out and boat servicing facilities are planned.

Once the subdivision at Hobbs Bay Estate is completed, the opportunity to expand with a marina development would be considerably more challenging. Our research indicates a significant shortfall in boating facilities in the area, with notable delays in trailer boat access for both launching and retrieval causing frustration among the local boaties. Our proposal is designed to alleviate some of this frustration and help address the existing undersupply. Such opportunities are rare and there are few other suitable locations for a marina in the Auckland region.

Through careful planning we will ensure the public has access to suitable parking and manoeuvrable space for the launching and retrieving of trailer boats.

With a proven track record in creating exceptional coastal developments like the Waterways projects in Pauanui, Whitianga, and Marsden Cove, we specialise in delivering manmade beaches that become cherished public reserves. These spaces offer the local community a range of activities, from swimming to water play and beyond. Our commitment is to deliver a world-class amenity that everyone can share and enjoy.
