Featuring approval for 160 berths (only 122 were installed), the marina facility also included 11000mt boat hardstand yard and 40 tonne travel lift. Les seized the opportunity to undertake a minor expansion of 22 berths which financially assisted over the next 3.5 years during the approval process for an additional 85 berths. Now completed, Marmong boasts 245 berths, expanded car park, public works and renewal of the existing marina. Les competed the MIAA Intermediate Marina Managers course in 2006 and on the following year the Advanced Marina Management course. He was awarded Certified Marina Manager status in 2010.
