Construction under way at d'Albora

Construction is now well underway on the extension announced last month to d’Albora Marinas The Spit’s berthing capability, with the northern end of the works comprising 17 berths almost complete.

The redevelopment, set to take place in stages, will increase the number of berths to 200, expanding the marina’s capacity by 35 berths.

CEO of d’Albora Marinas Mr Brett Bolton, said that much of the enquiry from both d’Albora Marinas existing clients as well as external enquiries had to do with the marina’s impending ability to berth superyachts.

"Our customers are very excited about the new berths which will allow for vessels up to 120 feet (36 metres long) to dock at The Spit from August this year," Mr Bolton said.

"Spaces are already being reserved ahead of Sydney’s upcoming spring boating season."

The works will greatly enhance the marina’s existing facilities, allowing for a variety of modern vessel demands including berthing options for boats from 50 feet (15 metres).

"This redevelopment will benefit the boating and broader community as it is the only marina in Middle Harbour able to accommodate such a broad range of boats including super yachts," Mr Bolton said.

"Marina visitors will benefit from upgraded marina facilities including the expansion of a new premium berthing arm, improved access and egress, faster fuelling, extensive CCTV, a new leisure space, a new marina walkway and increased safety on and off Spit Road."

d’Albora Marinas The Spit says its boat sales, syndication and service tenants, including the award winning Ormeggio at The Spit and its sister restaurant Chiosco by Ormeggio, will remain operational throughout the development period.
