Was just about to push the button on a 3 bedroom house in Callala Bay after swimming in the beautiful waters of Jervis Bay then I read tonight they are trying to develop a 200 birth marina complex at Callala Bay. I would image it would change the charm of the area greatly.
Does anyone know how far this project has gone.

I certainly hope it never happens. It will destroy a very pretty little bay. Instead of moorings with an annual cost of a few hundred dollars, there will be berths with an annual cost of $6000 or so. Some of the locals think their kids will get jobs out of it, but what sort? Scraping bottoms and pumping fuel, I suppose - experienced tradies will surely get the jobs over inexperienced locals. And if the thing is successful surely local houses prices will rise even higher, to the stage where even a yardhand will have no chance of getting one.

Though Shell Cove Marina is now being built I can't ever see a marina at Jervis Bay built. A cheaper non marina option would be a breakwater built on Callala Reef to provide protection to the moored boats; can't see that occurring either.
