Forster Marina  $790k wiwo

This marina is located at Forster/Tuncurry, which is a thriving coastal town, 3 hours drive from Sydney, on the Mid North Coast of NSW, just a short walk along Little Street, from the Town Centre

The Marina, which has huge drive-by appeal both by road & water, offers new owners various untapped income streams. It is currently running as a boat hire, shop, bait, tackle & moorings (casual & permanent) including island residents.

 

This is a genuine private sale by the owner, who is reluctantly selling due to ill health.

The business has been run at a bare minimum in preparation for redevelopment to restaurant & marina.

For those with drive, wanting a waterfront business with good cash flow potential, unique laidback lifestyle & a joy to work in, this is your opportunity for a first time advertised business.

This is a redeveloper's dream as all of the legwork has been completed up to design & DA Submission. Having one of the largest lease holdings on the lake of nearly 2000 square metres allows redevelopment of the facilities (commercial waterfront approved & nominated into the new lease by the Lands Department).

There are options to expand the marina under the current (commercial waterfront) lease, to include a restaurant/cafe. Also the potential for additional income to the marina such as shop, services & workshop, tour operators mooring their vessels, souvenirs & merchandising, catering, bait & tackle, dive boats & diving equipment, canoes, kayaks & sea kayaks, water taxis & ferries, rental and/or commissions etc;

Overview: Reason
For Sale
In March 1998 we received a letter from Lands Dept that GLC (Great Lakes Council) had brought into effect the DCP17 allowing the establishment of a waterfront restaurant on our lease opposite South Street. I consulted both GLC & the Lands Dept, having acquired the neighbouring boatsheds with the view of taking up the offer. I lodged the paperwork November 2000 to acquire a new 20 year lease to the new compliant "commercial waterfront". The new lease was granted July 2005. It took a further 18 months to have the Valuer General combine all the leases and licenses into one (rateable property) lease & license which is now ready for design & redevelopment. Ref 1.
