Ferry company supports restoring heritage boat shed
The ferry company which runs the Woy Woy to Davistown service is backing moves to restore the Empire Bay heritage boat shed and marina.
An Empire Bay Heritage Boat Shed Association has been formed with 200 financial members, and has gained statements of support from Member for Terrigal Mr Adam Crouch and Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch.
The association is investigating options for financial viability which may see the majority of wharf berths set aside at preferential rates for heritage and smaller wooden vessels to create an Empire Bay "Heritage Fleet" to complement the Boat Shed, with berths set aside for Central Coast Ferries and a few "full paying" berths.
It is not intended to run the boat shed commercially or to allow it to return to its current dilapidated condition "but it is necessary for the wharf to generate income to be self sustaining".
