Cape Jaffa Development
The Kingston District Council and Cape Jaffa Development Company have recently brought about a closure to all joint contractual obligations related to the marina development at Cape Jaffa on mutually agreeable terms. Following negotiations over a considerable period of time, the parties have transferred the remaining development land from Council to the Developer completing all contractual matters between them.
In the period since the Cape Jaffa marina was declared a Major Project development in December 2002, the Developer has contributed significant marine based public infrastructure and assets including boat launching and wash down facilities, commercial and recreational marina berthage, wharf, refuelling facility, secured hardstand, 50T boat hoist and purpose-built lifting bay, premium waterfront housing allotments and open spaces. Since commencement of construction, the marina development at Cape Jaffa has provided regional employment opportunities and contributed to the establishment and growth of several local businesses.
Both parties are pleased to have reached this significant milestone and believe that the natural conclusion of the relationship will simplify and encourage further investment at Cape Jaffa.
