Empire is the first marina in Australia to achieve Platinum accreditation and is only one of three in the world accredited at this level. The award was presented by Andrew Chapman, President of the Marina Industries Association to marina directors Darren Vaux and John Lawler at a ceremony at the marina.
“The International Gold Anchor rating system is designed to provide boat owners and marina users with an easy reference system similar to the Hotel star rating scheme,” explained Andrew Chapman.
“Gold Anchor marinas are independently assessed against points-based criteria covering 100 different elements of marina facilities and services, covering areas relevant to consumers including ambience, policies, planning and procedures, customer service, Environmental Performance, on-water facilities, on-shore facilities and includes extensive interviews of customers and other stakeholders.
