Project Statement May 2016
Overview Eden Marina is a vibrant new project which is at the heart of a multi-faceted tourist complex set for imminent development. Situated on the shores of Twofold Bay at Cattle Bay, Eden NSW the project when completed, will comprise World class floating marina with 154 berths, protected by a wave attenuator International deluxe Resort Hotel with Restaurant, Bar and Outdoor Terrace overlooking the Marina, Conference & Function Room facilities and 70-100 units (1 and 2 bedroom Serviced Apartments) Residential development with 60 dwellings and Retirement living (close to downtown Eden) Precinct E 01 01
Many years in the making the complete project has local government, state and federal permits in hand ready to progress through to the detailed design stage and then construction phase. Eden as a destination is on the cusp of an exceptional boom. Eden and Twofold bay have a broad range of tourist and recreational attractions already in place. Being equidistant from Sydney and Melbourne but in close proximity to Canberra, the region is now well placed to tap into national and international tourist markets. The appeal of Eden has been recognised by the cruise ship industry. Following the wharf extension between 20 to 50 vessels annually, will be calling into the Port Of Eden. The public funding (announced April 2014) which will make Snug Cove safe for moorings is welcome and will create essential protection. With no public mooring buoys in Twofold Bay, latent regional demand for quality marina facilities for non-trailerable vessels and an influx of cruise ship tourists about to descend on Eden, the case for the Eden Marina development in Cattle Bay is indisputable. 02

The Wave Attenuator Like most marina projects, the capital investment required to create a marina basin is significant. Regional developments similar to Eden rely on Government support to assist in the capital costs of the long term, core infrastructure, such as wave protection or the creation of the marina basin. In the case of Eden Marina, the site is exposed and wave attenuation is required to satisfy the Australian Standard AS3962-2001 for an acceptable wave climate within the marina. The concrete slab wave attenuator has been designed to accommodate the severe wave conditions experienced in Cattle Bay due to ocean storms and strong winds from south/south-south-west. The wave attenuator is an essential element of the Eden Marina project. Without the wave attenuator, the marina cannot be constructed. Representation has been made to Bega Shire Council, NSW Government and Australian Government to provide essential funding for the construction of the wave attenuator and associated core capital works at Cattle Bay. 07

Why the Wave Attenuator is Vital The wave attenuator is the single element at the Eden Marina which ties the project together. Elsewhere in NSW there are numerous examples of marinas which have been developed behind breakwaters and capital works. The capital contribution of Governments of all persuasions and at all levels have driven regional growth and facilitated prosperity. 09
