Recently, GCCM implemented an alternative means by which boat owners can still wash their boats without the need to use the town water supply. A rainwater harvesting system captures rain from our Dry Boat Storage building’s massive roof area. The water is then stored in large above ground tanks and pumped under pressure to the numerous taps that service the outside hardstand areas.

It is estimated that this scheme will save us some 180,000 litres of water per year.

Gold Coast City Marina recently participated in the Marina Industry Association of Australia, Clean Marinas Program. Following an independent audit from a qualified representative of the Association, we are very pleased to announce that Gold Coast City Marina achieved the highest award, Level 3, under the national scheme. The above project proved to be a key determining factor for this level of achievement.

In November 2007, GCCM was awarded the Gold Coast City Council’s Environmental Achievement Award, highlighting our commitment to continued environmental improvement and eco sustainability.
