Industry Programs

The MIAA develops and promotes many programs and incentives to help better marinas nationally and reduce the impact of marinas on the environment. Information about our programs follows.

Low Carbon Marina Initiative

Climate change is emerging as an issue of great significance to the marina industry. Increased coastal rainfall activity, rising sea levels, and increased cyclone and storm intensity are potentially damaging to our marine environment.

Gold Anchor Rating Scheme

The Gold Anchors Rating Scheme rates marinas according to an independent assessment of its infrastructure, planning and service.

Clean Marina Program

The Clean Marina Program is an international, voluntary accreditation system for marinas, yacht clubs, boat clubs, slips, boatyards and associated industry operators. The program has been developed to support marine industries in its endeavours to protect our coastal and inland waterways.

The Australian Marinas Value Study

The Value Study quantifies the economic and employment value of Australian marinas based on the data provided by marina operators.
