2013 Health of the Australian Marina Industry Survey ___
Australian Marinas: Economic, Social and Environmental Performance

1
Introduction
This is the second Health of the Australian Marina Industry (HAMI) Survey. In early 2011, the Marina Industries
Association of Australia (MIAA, nowadays known as Marina Industries Association [MIA]) Board decided to launch
HAMI survey as a means for undertaking a new and more scientific approach for collecting data to assess the health
and economic contributions of the marina industry in Australia. With support provided by the Australian Government Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research; Queensland Government; New South Wales
Government; and Parks Victoria; the Marina Industries Association led the effort. The Recreational Marine Research
Center (RMRC) at Michigan State University (MSU) in the USA supplied technical research assistance (e.g., survey
design and programming, analytics).
The purpose of HAMI survey is to provide a comprehensive and continuing perspective on the economic, social, and
environmental performance and contributions of Australian marinas. A significant number of the questions will remain
the same to collect equivalent information for the purpose of identifying patterns or trends. New questions are also
added to investigate emerging marina-related issues (e.g., accommodation of super yachts), and topics of emerging
and special interest to the marina industry, federal and state legislators, and government agencies.
HAMI survey is one of the most, if not the most, scientific and practically relevant marina surveys conducted
anywhere in the world. Its success is attributable to the altruism of the many marina owners and managers that have
been willing to take the time to provide in-depth information concerning their operations. Many previous marina
surveys, especially those sponsored by marina associations, receive responses primarily from the largest and most
active of their members meaning that the findings are not even representative of the marinas comprising the
organization and certainly not all marinas in the country. In addition, these surveys are rarely repeated on a
continuing basis (e.g., every other year) employing the same survey questions and/ or methods. Both the quantity
and diversity (i.e., large and small marinas, yacht clubs and non-club marinas) of responses achieved by this survey
are very uncommon in industry surveys that collect financial performance information.
Health of the Australia Marina Industry Survey - Highlights

Almost half (47%) of the 347 Australian marinas responded to the 2013 HAMI survey providing an excellent
representation of marinas of different sizes in different regions of the country. The survey findings reveal that the
Australian marinas are healthy and continue to enhance their facilities, services, and their efforts to protect the
environment and upgrade their services to customers and non-customers. Marina revenues increased in 2012-2013
FY over the previous year and 40% expect them to grow more in 2013-2014 FY.
Marinas contribute to state and regional economies through purchasing products and services, employing local
residents, renting spaces to business tenants, engaging contractors, and paying lease payments and taxes. Based
on the data produced by the survey, it is estimated that 344 marinas, not including three marinas in the Northern
Territory, generated gross revenues of approximately $679 million in 2012-2013 FY. It is estimated that marinas from
six states paid more than $100 million in taxes and lease payments, directly employed about 3,300 persons and paid
about $136.3 million in wages and salaries. Marinas also rented space to about 1,745 tenants that employed about
8,700 persons. In addition, about 7,200 contractors engaged in work at marinas.
A third of marinas that completed the 2013 HAMI survey reported higher payrolls in 2012-2013 FY than in the
previous fiscal year. Twenty-seven per cent of marinas anticipate having higher payrolls in 2013-2014 FY than a year
earlier.
The amounts that marinas paid in lease payments and taxes has risen and is expected to continue rising. Forty-three
per cent of marinas paid more in taxes and lease payments in 2012-2013 FY than they did a year earlier, and 52% of
marinas expect that tax and lease payments will be greater in 2013-2014 FY than in the previous fiscal year. Very few
marinas anticipate paying less in lease payments and fees in the nearest future.
Most marinas are actively improving the quality and diversity of their facilities and services. More than three quarters
of marinas invested in capital improvements, including adding additional boat storage spaces and new revenueproducing services and facilities. Based on the survey results, it is conservatively estimated that marinas invested
about $145 million in capital improvements during 2012-2013 FY. They additionally invested another $3.4 million in
new or improved environmental protection/ enhancement facilities and technologies.
2
Two-thirds of marinas have undertaken, or intended to undertake, upgrades, extensions or redevelopment projects
during the last three years. Although marinas encounter a variety of impediments when undertaking these projects,
most are successfully completed.
Australian marinas are responding to the demand for more spaces that can accommodate super yachts. Twenty per
cent of marinas were able to accommodate super yachts and 14% of these anticipate building/ preparing additional
super yacht spaces in 2013-2014 FY. About 9% of the marinas that currently do not have super-yacht-sized berths or
have them but are not able to accommodate super yachts, plan to build/ prepare berth/ pens specifically for super
yachts in 2013-2014 FY.
The average occupancy across all marinas was approximately 83% and a quarter of marinas reported over 96%
occupancy rates in 2012-2013 FY. About half of marinas were at full capacity and had waiting lists for the summer of
2012-2013 FY. More than half (54.0%) of marinas rented space to a mix of both commercial and recreational boats
during 2012-13 FY.
A majority of Australian marinas are actively engaged in building facilities, employing technologies, and educating
their customers for the purpose of protecting the environment. Eighty-five per cent of marinas practice recycling, 84%
provide boating clients with guidelines and information about environmentally responsible boating practices, and 55%
had an operational collection pit that captured residues and/or run off from dry land boat maintenance and repair
activities.
Marinas that completed both the 2011 and 2013 HAMI surveys reported a slight decline in gross revenues (5%) and
number of employees (2%) in 2012-2013 FY as compared with 2010-2011 FY. Payrolls were up 5% during the same
period. Lease and tax payments were up 8%. Capital investments were much higher (40%) in 2012-2013 FY than
they were in 2010-2011 FY.

The estimated number of all marinas in Australia comes from the records of the Marina Industries Association (MIA). Three marinas in Northern Territory have been excluded from the
extrapolations to protect the confidentiality of their information, bringing down the total number of marinas to 344 instead of reported 347.
2
The dollar amounts have been rounded (up or down) to the nearest $1,000.
3
Gross revenue - the total of all sales and revenues before expenses are subtracted from such sales and revenues and before business and tax deductions are accounted for. Please
include sales and revenues from all sources as applicable such as berth rental, fuel, food and beverage, boat sales (actual commission income, not the total value of all boats sold) and
tenant rental.
4
Number of marina employees was calculated by adding mean number of permanent marina employees (reported only for July 2012 and for January 2013) to mean number of casual
marina employees (reported only for July 2012 and for January 2013).
5
Payroll is defined by the Australian Tax Office as the amount of money an employer pays in wages and salaries (including bonuses, incentives and superannuation) to their employees.
6
Taxes and lease payments marina paid to federal, state and local governments. This includes state land tax, state tax on gaming revenues, local council rates, GST on marina sales, GST
on marina purchases, state and local water and/or land leases.
7
Capital expenditures (CAPEX or capex) are expenditures creating future benefits. A capital expenditure is incurred when a marina business spends money either to buy fixed assets or to
add to the value of an existing fixed asset with a useful life that extends beyond the taxable year. Capex are used by a company to acquire or upgrade marina physical assets such as
equipment, property, or buildings. In accounting, a capital expenditure is added to an asset account ("capitalized"), thus increasing the asset's basis (the cost or value of an asset as
adjusted for tax purposes).
8
A business tenant is a business entity that rents space at the marina from/ at which it operates. Business tenants operation may or may not be related to boating; e.g., yacht sales or
office space.
9
A contractor is an individual or business who works on the marina site who may or may not pay rent. Their principal place of business is elsewhere (for example a valuer or a surveyor).
10
Examples of investment in protection/ enhancement facilities and technologies: sewerage pump-out, floating booms, receptacles for waste products, interceptor pits, etc.

2013 HAMI Survey Methods

Prior to undertaking the 2013 HAMI survey, Marina Industries Association undertook a national inventory effort to
both identify and obtain contact information for as many marinas as possible. This action resulted in the identification
1
of 347 marinas, including 74 yacht clubs and 273 non-club marinas in Australia. A total of 163 marinas, representing
47% of all marinas in Australia, completed the main part of the HAMI survey.
For consistency and comparison purposes, especially for the same-same marina trend analyses, many of the
questions comprising the 2013 HAMI survey were from the 2011 survey instrument. Additional questions were added
in 2013 pertaining to storage of unregistered boats, and capabilities to accommodate super yachts. Moreover, a
special section was added to the end of the questionnaire to learn if Australian marinas that recently have been
undertaking marina expansion/ improvement projects have been facing impediments to successful completion of
these projects.
Draft versions of new questions comprising the HAMI survey were first developed by RMRC. Members of the MIA
then reviewed and evaluated them to determine: if marinas are able to provide the information being requested (e.g.,
if marinas actually collect specific pieces of information), whether the particular wording would be understandable to
marina owners and managers, and the likelihood that marinas would be willing to provide information that is being
requested. Members of the MIA also assisted in testing and recommending enhancements in the functionality of the
web-based survey, and played a major role in encouraging both member and non-member marinas throughout the
country to respond to the survey. The survey was administered and the data were analysed and reported by the
RMRC.
The online survey was launched on 27 August 2013 when invitations to 293 marinas with known email addresses
were sent out. Before the survey was closed on 15 November 2013, those managers that had not completed the
survey had been sent reminders and general updates on the progress of the project. One additional email message,
a thank-you note, was sent to each marina owner/manager that completed the survey.
One hundred and sixty-one (161) Australian marinas completed the entire survey (the core part and the marinas
projects part), but responses from 163 Australian marinas that completed the core survey were used for the report, as
the core survey was mostly a repetition of the 2011 survey. Response rates by size of marina, type of marina, and
state in which they are located are shown below.
The survey data were carefully evaluated to determine the completeness of the responses and to identify possible
consistency and reliability issues. These evaluations were accomplished by conducting a series of select if and
cross-tabulation analyses. For example, the reported number of employees was compared with the reported wages
and salaries paid, the size of the marina (storage capacity) and revenues. Based on these analyses of the provided
data to identify missing responses and possible consistency and reliability issues, some data from 19 marinas were
coded as missing and/or not included in the analyses.
1Three
marinas in Northern Territory have been excluded from the financial and regional extrapolations to protect confidentiality of
their information, bringing down the total number of marinas to 344. The NT marinas are included in the national analysis, as well in
the analysis by marina type and marina size.

2013 HAMI Survey Results Executive Summary

The results are presented in a series of figures and tables that profile: (1) all marinas; (2) marinas in different size
categories: large (over 250 spaces), mid-size (101-250 spaces), and small (up to 100 spaces); (3) marinas located in
different states; (4) yacht clubs and non-club marinas; and finally (5) marinas that completed both 2011 and 2013
survey (a.k.a. same-same marinas). In each case, a discussion of significant differences and similarities across
marinas in different analyses are included as part of the executive summary.
Australian Marinas: Nation-wide Analysis - Summary
Gross Revenues
In 2012-2013 FY, the average marina generated $1.97 million in gross revenues including rents paid by business
tenants. Gross revenue was defined as the total of all sales and revenues before expenses are subtracted from such
sales and revenues and before business and tax deductions are accounted for. Gross revenue includes sales and
revenues from all sources as applicable such as berth rental, fuel, food and beverage, boat sales (actual commission
income, not the total value of all boats sold) and tenant rental. One quarter of marinas realized $473,000 or less in
revenues compared with top 25% of marinas that generated $2.63 million or more in gross revenue.
About a third (34%) of marinas made more in gross revenues in 2012-2013 FY than they did in the previous fiscal
year. Only 15% of marinas made less in gross revenues. Forty per cent of marinas expect to generate more in
revenues in 2013-2014 FY than they did in the previous fiscal year. Just 3% anticipate making less in gross
revenues.
Marina Employment and Payrolls

About 92% of marinas employed persons as either permanent or casual employees. Managers or owners
themselves, and possibly business tenants, might operate other marinas. It is estimated that the 344 marinas in
Australia directly employed approximately 3,300 employees in 2012-2013 FY. The total number of marina employees
was calculated by adding mean number of permanent marina employees (reported only for July 2012 and for January
2013) to mean number of casual marina employees (reported only for July 2012 and for January 2013). These
estimates do not include the employees of marina tenants nor contractors servicing the marina.
On average, marinas employed 10.5 permanent and casual employees during 2012-2013 FY. Marinas averaged 5.3
permanent and 5.4 casual employees during the summer (in January 2013), and 5.4 permanent and 4.8 casual
employees during the winter (in July 2012).
Marinas employed on average 7 persons per $1 million in marina gross revenues. The average marina payroll (i.e.,
wages and salaries including bonuses, incentives and superannuation) to their employees in 2012-2013 FY was
approximately $434,500. Marina payroll represented, on average, approximately 24% of gross revenues including
rents paid by tenants, and 26.5% of gross revenues excluding tenant rental payments. The average payroll per
employee was approximately $42,900 including both permanent and causal employees. Payrolls of a quarter of
marinas were greater than $511,000, and for a quarter of marinas their payroll constituted at least 31% of gross
revenue.
A third of marinas had higher payrolls in 2012-2013 FY than in the previous fiscal year. Twenty-seven per cent of
marinas anticipate having higher payrolls in 2013-2014 FY than they paid in the previous fiscal year, 68% expect
similar payrolls and just 5% expect reduced payrolls.
Federal, State and Local Taxes and Lease Payments

A very high percentage of marinas that responded to the survey provided information on tax and lease payments
made to federal, state and local governments during the 2012-2013 FY. This includes state land tax, state tax on
gaming revenues, local council rates, GST on marina sales, GST on marina purchases, state and local water and/or
land leases. On average, marinas paid approximately $289,000 for taxes and leases. The ratio of all taxes to gross

___
13
revenues averaged at 20.2%. A quarter of marinas reported tax and lease payments of $400,000 or more, and taxes
of the top quarter of marinas amounted to at least 22.2% of gross revenues.
Forty-three per cent of marinas paid more in taxes and lease payments in 2012-2013 FY than they did in the previous
fiscal year; 9% paid less. Over half (52%) of marinas expect that tax and lease payments will be greater in 2013-2014
FY than a year earlier. Just 3% expect to pay less in lease payments and taxes.
Capital Expenditures
The vast majority of marinas (81.3%) invested in capital improvements during the 2012-2013 FY. On average, these
marinas spent nearly $515,000 during the course of the fiscal year. A third of marinas that incurred capital
investments invested in new revenue-producing facilities or services and 27.4% invested in additional boat storage
capacity (e.g., berths/pens, moorings, dry stack or hard stand).
Capital expenditures for a third (34%) of marinas were greater in 2012-2013 FY than a year earlier. Approximately
half (51%) of marinas expect to spend more in capital improvements in 2013-2014 FY than in the previous fiscal year,
17% expect to reduce their capital expenditures.
Marina Services and Types of Boat Storage

Australian marinas offer a broad array of services. Some of these services are offered by the marina itself or by its
tenants. During the 2012-2013 FY, two-thirds of marinas (67.1%) offered slipping / haul-out / lift-out, 58.7% provided
boat repair services, 55.5% sold boat fuel, 53.5% sold food and beverages, and 42.6% had chandlery and other
retail.
More than half (54.0%) of marinas rented space to a mix of commercial and recreational boats during 2012-2013 FY.
About 57% of marinas provided only on-water boat storage spaces versus approximately 43% that offered both onwater and on-land boat storage spaces. About three-quarters of the marinas (73%) rented spaces to both powerboats
and sailboats.
Almost all (98.6%) of marinas provided berths and pens in 2012-2013 FY. The average such marina had 155 berths;
one quarter of marinas with berths had 51 or fewer berths, and another quarter had more than 221 berths. Forty-one
per cent of marinas provided an average of 26.4 moorings. Almost 40% of marinas provided hard stand storage and
on average they offered 50 hard stands. About 17% of marinas offered indoor and/or outdoor dry stack storage.
About 29% of marinas stored unregistered boats (e.g., Optimist youth training boats, kayaks, manly juniors) during
the 2012-2013 FY. Overall, 8% of Australian marinas stored them at no charge, 9.2% for a fee, and 11.7% stored
some at no charge and some others for a fee.
Occupancy Rates
Occupancy of Australian marinas continued to be high. The average occupancy rate across all marinas was
approximately 83%, and a quarter of marinas reported over 96% occupancy rates. For the purpose of the survey,
occupancy rate was defined as the percentage of nights all marinas boat storage spaces were occupied during all
nights all marinas boat storage spaces were available. For example, a marina that was open from 1 September 2010
until 31 May 2011 (273 days/nights) and it had a total of 100 boat storage spaces (including berths/pens, moorings,
hard stand and/or dry stack), had 27,300 storage nights available for rent. If 10 boat storage spaces were empty, for
example, for 30 nights during those 9 months, there were 300 vacancy nights or 27,000 occupancy nights. In this
example the total occupancy rate was 98.9% (27,000 occupancy nights/27,300 available nights).
A very high percentage of marinas were at full capacity and could not accommodate any additional boats during the
2012-2013 FY. Half (49.7%) of marinas had waiting lists for boat storage spaces during part or all of summer
(December 2010 March 2011). A lower but still high percentage of marinas (37.4%) had waiting lists during nonpeak seasons. Hence, adding additional storage spaces is a priority for many marinas.

___
14
Business Tenants and Contractors

About 63% of marinas rented their space to business tenants in 2012-2013 FY. Marina tenants are businesses that
rent space at the marina from/ at which they operate. Business tenants operation may or may not be related to
boating (e.g., yacht sales or general office space). Marinas renting to tenants averaged eight such business renters.
A quarter of these marinas had more than 10 tenants. The average marina with tenants realized about $335,000 in
rents. Eighty-three per cent of marinas with tenants maintained the same number of tenants in 2012-2013 FY as they
had in the previous fiscal year; 10% had more tenants in 2012-2013 FY than a year earlier.
Almost 85% of marinas engaged, directly or indirectly, various types of contractors. On average, these marinas
engaged about 25 contractors in 2012-2013 FY.
Protection and Enhancement Facilities and Technologies

During the 2012-2013 FY, more than half (52.8%) of all marinas made investments, averaging $18,500, in new or
improved environmental protection/ enhancement facilities and technologies, for example sewerage pump-out,
floating booms, receptacles for waste products, interceptor pits, etc. Many Australian marinas also participated in
various programs and/ or adopted environmental protection practices. Eight-five per cent of marinas practiced
recycling of paper, plastic, glass, metal and batteries. Eighty-four per cent of marinas provided boating clients with
guidelines and information about environmentally responsible boating practices. About 55% had an operational
collection pit that captured residues and run off from dry land boat maintenance and repair activities.
Marina Services to Non-Renting Customers and Social Contributions

In addition to providing facilities and services to the owners of boats stored on their premises, marinas and yacht
clubs also provide services (e.g., boating access) and other benefits to non-renting customers and to the nearby
communities. Thirty-eight per cent of marinas held structured social and/or recreational programs or events in 20122013 FY that were available to the general public. Over half of marinas (55%) provided support to their local
community in the form of cash or in-kind support. About 79% allowed non-renting customers access to their marinas,
and nearly 27% had a boat launch facility that was available for use by the general public. In addition, marinas
provided non-renting customers access to buy fuel (44.8%), repair services (43.6%) as well as launch and haul-out
services (42.3%).
Super Yacht Marinas

Twenty per cent of Australian marinas were able to accommodate super yachts during 2012-2013 FY, and half of
such marinas can accommodate 4 or more super yachts at the same time. A quarter of the marinas that were able to
accommodate super yachts are located in a Customs Designated Port of Entry and able to provide customs clearing.
About 14% of marinas that were able to accommodate super yachts during the 2012-2013 FY anticipate they will
build/ prepare additional storage spaces (e.g., berths/pens) specifically for super yachts in 2013-2014 FY. About 9%
of the marinas that currently do not have super-yacht-sized (24.1 m +) berths or have such spaces but currently are
not able to actually accommodate super yachts anticipate they will build/ prepare berth/ pens specifically for super
yachts in 2013-2014 FY.
Marina Upgrades, Extensions and Redevelopments

In 2013 survey, a new section was added to evaluate the environment in which marina consider or undertake marina
projects. Marina owners/operators were asked about: (1) upgrade, extension or redevelopment projects undertaken,
or intended to be undertaken, by marinas in the last three years; (2) progress of these projects, and (3) issues, if any,
encountered during projects planning or realization process.
Twelve specific types of marina projects were investigated: (1) upgrade to some or all of the marina fixed or floating
jetty system; (2) extension to the marina fixed or floating jetty system; (3) redevelopment of the marina jetty
infrastructure and configuration; (4) upgrade of infrastructure and/ or facilities within the marina boat yard/ hard stand;
(5) extension of infrastructure and/ or facilities within the marina boat yard/ hard stand; (6) redevelopment of the
marina boat yard/ hard stand; (7) upgrade of marina workshop(s) infrastructure and/ or facilities; (8) extension of
marina workshop(s) infrastructure and/ or facilities; (9) redevelopment of marina work shop(s); (10) upgrade of other
infrastructure and/ or facilities within the marina (excluding jetty, boat yard/ hard or work shop(s)) - e.g., restaurant,
___
15
car park, fuel pumps/ storage; (11) extension of other infrastructure and/ or facilities within the marina (excluding jetty,
boat yard/ hard or work shop(s)) and; (12) redevelopment of other infrastructure and/ or facilities within the marina
(excluding jetty, boat yard/hard or work shop(s)).
Two-thirds of marinas have undertaken, planned or meant to undertake any upgrade, extension or redevelopment
projects during the last three years. About 70% of these marinas have undertaken or planned to undertake an
upgrade or a fix of a floating jetty system, 47% have undertaken or planned to undertake an extension of the marina
fixed or floating jetty system, and about 40% have undertaken or planned to do an upgrade of infrastructure and/ or
facilities within the marina boat yard/ hard stand. On average, these marinas have undertaken, or intended to
undertake, three different types of upgrades, extensions and/ or redevelopments during the last three years.
At the time when the survey was conducted, 40% of the projects to upgrade some or all of the marina fixed or floating
jetty system were successfully completed and another 40% were still in process and progressing smoothly. Twothirds of these 80% of marinas with a successful project have not encountered any issues during its realization. For
17% of marinas that have undertaken an upgrade of some or all of the marina fixed or floating jetty system the project
was proceeding, but not smoothly. Additional 3% of jetty upgrade projects were either postponed or abandoned. Sixty
per cent of these 20% of marinas with a troubled, postponed or abandoned project cited the anticipated time of
regulatory, planning or approval processes or requirements as the reason for the problem with their project. Forty per
cent of marinas with a troubled, postponed or abandoned jetty upgrade project cited security of tenure-related
constraints.
In comparison with jetty upgrade project, fewer marinas (46.7%) have undertaken or planned to undertake extension
to the marina fixed or floating jetty system. However, a higher percentage (12.0%) of them have postponed or
abandoned this project over the last three years, and another 18%, though continue the project, have encountered
issues. The most often identified reasons for postponing or abandoning the project or troubles with its realization
included; (1) opposition to the upgrade, expansion or redevelopment of the marina by local residents (26.7%), (2) the
anticipated time of regulatory, planning or approval processes or requirements (26.7%), and (3) security of tenurerelated constraints (26.7%).
All marina owners and operators (whether they have undertaken any marina projects over the last three years or not)
were asked to rate the importance of four different actions to facilitate marina upgrades, extensions or redevelopment
projects on a scale from 0 (not at all important) to 7 (extremely important). All four actions received an average
importance rating greater than 5. More than half (52.5%) of the marinas rated simplifying regulatory, planning and
approvals processes or requirements as extremely important and it was rated an average of 5.5 in importance.
Reducing the time required to comply with regulatory, planning and approval processes or requirements; and
enhancing the assistance provided by government agencies involved in the marina upgrade/ extension/
redevelopment processes received 5.2 average importance rating each; and reducing the costs associated with
regulatory, planning and approval processes or requirements received a 5.1 importance rating.
Australian Marinas: Comparison of Marinas that Completed Both the 2011 and 2013 HAMI Survey
One of the primary intentions of the on-going Health of the Australian Marina Industry Surveys is to compare the
performance of the same marinas that respond to the survey. This provides more valid information for assessing
performance across different time periods. Seventy-nine marinas that participated in the 2011 HAMI survey also did
so in 2013 (same-same marinas). Comparisons of individual business aspects were conducted among the marinas
that had the same business aspect in both years. For example, only marinas that made capital investments in 20102011 FY and 2012-2013 FY were used to compare mean capital investments in each year.
Average gross revenues, employment, and occupancy rates were nearly the same in 2012-2013 FY as they were in
2010-2011 FY. The same-same marinas reported about 5% less in gross revenues in 2012-2013 FY as compared
with 2010-2011 FY. Marinas reduced employment only by about 2% in 2012-2013 FY.
The same-same marinas offered additional (2.3% more) boat storage spaces between 2010-2011 FY and 2012-2013
FY. Occupancy rates for the storage spaces were almost the same; the annual occupancy percentage was 1.7%
greater in 2012-2013 FY than in 2010-2011 FY. However, since the number of storage spaces increased at these
marinas during the same time period, the number of spaces that were occupied was actually 4% more in 2012-2013
FY.

Marina payrolls were approximately 5% higher in 2012-2013 FY than in 2010-2011 FY even though these marinas
employed slightly fewer employees. Marinas paid about 8% more in taxes and lease payments in 2012-2013 FY as
compared with 2010-2011 FY.
The same-same marinas spent significantly more on average for both capital investments and investments in
environmental protection/ enhancement facilities and technologies in 2012-2013 FY when compared with 2010-2011
FY. These marinas also expanded their capital investments by almost 40% and they increased investments in
environmental protection/ enhancement facilities and technologies by 14%.
Australian Marinas by Storage Spaces - Summary

Marinas were classified into one of three segments based on the number of boat storage spaces they had on 30 June
2013: small marinas (up to 100 spaces), medium-sized marinas (101-250 spaces) and large marinas (more than 250
spaces). As would be expected, there were significant differences across the different-sized marinas.
The large marinas realized an average of $3.5 million in gross revenues as compared with $993,000 for small
marinas. Since fewer of them have tenants and smaller number of such renting businesses, small marinas generate
significantly less per cent (8%) total gross revenues on average from tenant revenues than do large marinas (12%).
About 59% of the large marinas anticipate larger gross revenues in 2013-2104 FY as compared with the previous
fiscal year, which is in contrast to just 23% of small marinas having such expectations and 45% of medium size
marinas.
All large marinas and 83.6% of small marinas had employees in 2012-2013 FY. Larger marinas employed an average
of about 20 persons in 2012-2013 FY compared with about 4.3 persons employed by small marinas. Payroll is
defined by the Australian Tax Office as the amount of money an employer pays in wages and salaries (including
bonuses, incentives and superannuation) to their employees. The mean payroll per employee in 2012-2013 FY was
$46,113 for large marinas, $44,994 for medium size marinas and $37,171 for small ones. Eleven per cent of large
marinas but just 5% of small marinas expect to increase the number of persons they will employ in 2013-2014 FY
compared with the previous fiscal year. A third of large marinas, a quarter of small marinas and 23% of medium-sized
marinas expect to increase their payrolls in 2013-2014 FY when compared with the previous fiscal year.
As would be expected, small marinas generally provide fewer services than do large marinas. Of small marinas,
43.1% provided slipping/haul-out/lift-out, 20.0% sold fuel and 47.7% provided electricity (charged to) berth renters,
and 50.8% provided other berth-related utilities (e.g., water, internet, phone, cable/sat). This compares with 60.9% of
large marinas that provided slipping/haul-out/lift-out, 69.6% which sold fuel, 65.2%% that provided electricity (charged
to) berth renters, and 73.9% that supplied other berth-related utilities (e.g., water, internet, phone, cable/sat).
Fewer facilities and services may partially explain why small marinas generally have lower occupancy rates and
fewer have waiting lists. An average occupancy rate at small marinas was 76.4% in 2012-2013 FY which was in
contrast to 85.1% for medium size marinas and 88.1% for large ones. With regards to the level of scarcity of storage
capacity, 38.5% of small marinas and 54.3% of large marinas had a waiting list for boat storage spaces during part or
all of last summer (December 2012 March 2013).
In 2012-2013 FY, small marinas paid an average of approximately $152,000 and large marinas paid about $488,000
in taxes and lease payments including state land tax, state tax on gaming revenues, local council rates, GST on
marina sales, GST on marina purchases, state and local water and/or land leases. All marinas continue to pay more
each year in lease payments and federal, state and local government taxes. More than half (53% and 52%,
respectively) of large marinas paid higher taxes and lease payments in 2012-2013 FY than a year earlier, and expect
to pay more in 2013-2014 FY than in the previous fiscal year. This compares with 32% and 46% of small marinas and
47% and 59% of medium size marinas that paid more in taxes and lease payments in the past fiscal year and
anticipate paying more in the current fiscal year (2013-2014 FY).
Three quarters (74.5%) of small marinas had capital expenditures (CAPEX) that averaged about $235,000 in 20122013 FY as compared with 91% of large marinas that spent an average of approximately $952,000 on capital
improvements. More than a third (36.6%) of small marinas that made capital investments in 2012-2013 FY invested in
new revenue producing facilities and/or services and 22% financed additional boat storage capacity. About a third of
the large marinas that made capital investments invested in new revenue producing facilities and services (34.1%)
and/or additional boat storage capacity (36.6%). Almost half (48%) of both small and large marinas, and 59% of
medium size marinas, anticipate greater capital expenditures in 2013-2014 FY than in the previous fiscal year.
___
17
In 2012-2013 FY, more than half (54.3%) of large marinas participated in structured programs that focused on
environmental management and improvement, such as Clean Marinas, in comparison with 13.8% of small marinas
that participated in such programs. This, along with having more resources (e.g., staff, revenues) and larger volumes
(e.g., boats in storage, customers), may explain that larger marinas are also much more likely to have a documented
Emergency Response Plan that included environmental accidents and emergencies in effect (97.8%), and provide
boating clients with guidelines and information about environmentally responsible boating practices (91.3%). About
80% of large marinas, but just approximately 39% of small marinas, had an operational collection pit that captured
residues and run off from dry land boat maintenance and repair activities. Large and medium-sized marinas were
also much more likely to practice recycling. About 44% of large marinas expect to spend more on new/improved
environmental protection/enhancement facilities and technologies in 2013-14 FY than in the previous fiscal year. Only
a quarter of small marinas anticipate investing in such facilities and technologies.
Large marinas, again possibly due to greater resources, larger volumes and more facilities and services, were more
likely than small marinas to: offer structured social and/or recreational programs or events that were available to the
general public; provide support to the community in the form of cash or in-kind support; have a boat launch facility
available to the general public and; provide services (e.g., fuel, repairs) to boaters who did not rent space at the
marina. Large marinas provided an averaged 4.6 services (of 8 services investigated) to the general public, which
was in contrast with 2.6 public services, on average, offered by small marinas and 3.7, by medium size marinas.
Australian Marinas by States - Summary
The size composition of marinas in the different states that responded to the 2013 HAMI survey explains much of the
variation across states. It is necessary to mention that two marinas from Northern Territory also responded to the
2013 survey, but in order to protect confidentiality of their information, their answers have been excluded from the
analyses on the state level.
Queensland had the largest proportion (44.1%) of large marinas (more than 250 spaces) participating in the survey
followed by Western Australia (42.9%). Almost 61% of the marinas in New South Wales that responded to the survey
had 100 or fewer total storage spaces and only 8% of marinas in this state had more than 250 spaces. Victoria had
the smallest proportion (17.4%) of small marinas. Small and medium-sized marinas comprised 80% of the marinas in
both Tasmania and South Australia.

The three states with the largest average marinas on 30 June 2013 are Queensland (on average, 289 total storage
spaces), Victoria (243 spaces), and Western Australia (239 spaces). New South Wales had the smallest average
marina, with 121 total storage spaces.
New South Wales had highest proportion of marinas offering moorings (69.6%) and Queensland had the lowest
(6.9%). Per state, Victoria (27.3%) and Tasmania (22.2%) had the highest per cent of marinas providing dry stack

storage. Queensland (73.5%) had the highest per cent of marinas in 2012-2013 FY that rented spaces to a mix of
commercial and recreational boats. Conversely, about two-thirds (65.2%) of Victoria marinas rented spaces only to
recreational boats.
Western Australia (91.3%) reported the highest occupancy rates in 2012-13 FY and South Australia (69.4%) had the
lowest. Tasmania (70%) and Victoria (69.6%) had the largest per cent of marinas with waiting list for boat storage
spaces during part or all of last summer (December 2012 March 2013).
Marinas in Queensland earned the highest average amount in gross revenues in 2012-13 FY - approximately $2.8
million, followed by marinas in Western Australia ($2.28 million) and South Australia ($2.08 million). Marinas in
Western Australia and Queensland earned the highest average amount in revenues from tenant rents. More than half
(55%) of Queensland marinas expect to make more in gross revenues in 2013-14 FY than a year earlier, followed by
New South Wales (44%) and Victoria (38%) marinas.
Of the six states, the smallest number of marinas with employees in 2012-13 FY was in Western Australia (70.8%)
followed by Southern Australia (84.6%). However, among marinas with employees, marinas in Western Australia
reported the highest number of employees (16.4) on average in 2012-13 FY. Victoria marinas also employed more
persons (12.9) than the national average and New South Wales marinas employed close to the national average
number of employees per employing marina (10.4). Tasmania reported by far the fewest number of employees on
average per employing marina (2.8), but all marinas responding to the 2013 HAMI survey from that state indicated
having permanent and/or casual employees. The average payroll per employee was highest in Western Australia
($52,370) and Tasmania ($50,934) and lowest in South Australia ($35,812).
Marinas in Western Australia paid $438,372, on average, in lease payments and federal, state and local government
taxes in 2012-2013 FY - more than average taxes paid in any other state. Conversely, marinas in Tasmania paid an
average of approximately $61,000. Marinas in Victoria reported paying by far the highest percentage (32.3%) of their
gross revenues for taxes and lease payments compared with Western Australia (12%) and Tasmania (14%).
In all states, majority of marinas incurred capital expenditures (CAPEX) in 2012-2013 FY, with the highest percentage
of the marinas being in Victoria (90.9%), Tasmania (88.9%) and New South Wales (84.8%). Marinas in Western
Australia ($830,194) and Queensland ($810,921) made the highest average capital investments, whereas average
capital investments made by Southern Australia ($54,029) marinas were the smallest. Capital-financing marinas in
Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia invested, on average, a very high percentage of their annual gross
revenues in capital improvements in 2012-2013 FY. More than half of the marinas in Victoria (58%), New South
Wales (56%), Queensland (53%) and South Australia (52%) anticipate more capital spending in 2013-2014 FY than
in the previous fiscal year.
The highest proportion of marinas that made investments in new or improved environmental protection/ enhancement
facilities and technologies in 2012-2013 FY was in New South Wales (73.9%) as compared with the lowest
proportion, 33.3%, in Western Australia. South Australia had the second lowest per cent (38.5%) of marinas that
invested in environmental protection, but the marinas that spent money on such enhancements made the highest
average investments ($22,100). Sixty-two per cent of marinas in Tasmania marinas anticipate spending more on new
or improved environmental protection/ enhancement facilities and technologies in 2013-2014 FY than in the previous
fiscal year.
A much higher percentage of the marinas in Queensland (44.1%) and Victoria (43.5%) held structured social and/or
recreational programs or events that were available to the general public in 2012-2013 FY. Nearly three quarters
(73.9%) of Victoria marinas and about two-thirds (64.7%) of Queensland marinas provided support to the community
in the form of cash or in-kind support. Sixty per cent of Southern Australian marinas made a boat launch facility
available to the general public. The majority of marinas in all states provided services (e.g., fuel, repair services) to
boaters who did not rent space at the marina but the percentage of marinas that did so was higher in Western
Australia (82.1%), New South Wales (80.4%), and lower in Tasmania (60%) and South Australia (60%). More than
half of marinas in New South Wales (51%) and Queensland (58.8%) sold fuel to boaters who did not rent space at
the marinas and 62.7% of the New South Wales marinas offered repair services to such boaters.

Australian Marinas: Yacht Clubs and Non-Club Marinas - Summary

A larger per cent of yacht clubs provided moorings (51.3%), dry stacks (23.1%) and hard stands (51.3%) than did
non-club marinas among which over a third (37.1%) offered moorings, 14.3% offered dry stacks, and 35.6% provided
hard stands. The average rate of occupancy of storage spaces at yacht clubs was 93.6% in 2012-2013 FY, in
contrast to 78.7% for non-club marinas. About 84% of yacht clubs had a waiting list for boat storage spaces during
part or all of last summer (December 2012 March 2013) as compared with 37% of non-club marinas. About 80% of
yacht clubs rented spaces only to recreational boats as opposed to only a third (33.6%) of non-club marinas that
rented spaces only to such boats.
The yacht clubs reported significantly more in gross revenues ($2.89 million) in 2012-2013 FY than non-club marinas
($1.63 million). Almost half of yacht clubs made more in gross revenues in 2012-2013 FY than in the previous fiscal
year, and 58% anticipate making more in 2013-2014 FY. Over a third (36%) of non-club marinas expect to earn more
gross revenue in 2013-2014 FY, and just 3% of yacht clubs and non-club marinas expect to make less in revenues
this fiscal year.
Yacht clubs paid on average approximately $330,700 in lease payments and federal, state and local government
taxes in 2012-2013 FY, and 42% of them anticipate paying more in taxes and lease payments the next fiscal year. In
contrast, non-club marinas paid on average about $272,000 in various taxes in 2012-2013 FY, and more than half of
them (55%) expect more next year .
A vast majority of yacht clubs (92.3%) and non-club marinas (91.4%) employed permanent and/or casual employees
in 2012-2013 FY. On average, such yacht clubs employed over three times more persons (21.8) than non-club
marina (6.3 persons). Yacht clubs employed a higher percentage of casual employees (about 60%) in 2012-2013 FY
than non-club marinas (33%). This explains why average payroll per employee was much less in yacht clubs
($38,733) than in non-club marinas ($44,567).
More yacht clubs (89.7%) than non-club marinas (78.1%) incurred capital investments in 2012-2013 FY. Of those
marinas that had such expenses, an average yacht club spent over twice as much on capital expenditures that year
than an average non-club marina. Yacht clubs spent, on average, about $866,000 and 83% of their annual 20122013 FY gross income in capital expenditures as compared with approximately $359,000 and 51.3% of gross
revenues spent by non-club marinas.
Yacht clubs offered almost twice the average number of facilities and services than non-club marinas. Yacht club and
non-club marinas offered many of the same traditional marina-related services and facilities (e.g., slipping/ haul-out,
fuels, repair services), but a much greater per cent of yacht clubs offered restaurants (77.3%), gaming (15.9%),
educational services/boating classes (56.8%), sailing schools (54.5%), races (88.6%), and meetings and functions
facilities (88.6%).
As might be expected, a significant difference between yacht clubs and non-club marinas is the number and types of
services they make available to the general public. Structured social and/or recreational programs or events were
made available to the general public by 68.2% of yacht clubs and 26.9% of non-club marinas. About 50% of non-club
marinas and 70% of yacht clubs provided support to the community in the form of cash or in-kind support. On the
other hand, a significantly higher per cent of non-club marinas (78.2%) than yacht clubs (61.4%) provided services to
boaters who did not rent space at the marina.

Permanent employees, whether working full time or part time hours, have an on-going relationship with their
employer that is regular and systematic. They are engaged for a fixed number of hours each week or fortnight
with an expectation of ongoing employment. The following points highlight the employment characteristics of
permanent employees: a) usually work on a regular basis with a set roster; b) are employed on an on-going
basis; and c) are entitled to receive entitlements such as annual and sick leave proportionate to the number of
hours they work.
2
Generally, casual employees are employed on an irregular basis with no set roster or routine as to when they work.
Furthermore, there is no expectation by employer and employee that there will be regular ongoing employment.
Casuals are employed on an as needs basis, often to meet a changing workload within the workplace.

Number of marina employees was calculated by adding:
- mean number of permanent marina employees (reported only for July 2012 and for January 2013) to
- mean number of casual marina employees (reported only for July 2012 and for January 2013).

Capital expenditures (CAPEX or capex) are expenditures creating future benefits. A capital expenditure is incurred
when a marina business spends money either to buy fixed assets or to add to the value of an existing fixed asset
with a useful life that extends beyond the taxable year. Capex are used by a company to acquire or upgrade
marina physical assets such as equipment, property, or buildings. In accounting, a capital expenditure is added
to an asset account ("capitalized"), thus increasing the asset's basis (the cost or value of an asset as adjusted for
tax purposes). Capex is commonly found on the cash flow statement as "Investment in Plant Property and
Equipment" or something similar in the Investing subsection.

The results include 12 marinas that had capital-expenditure-to-gross-revenue ratio higher than 100%.

The overall analysis was performed on 79 marinas that participated in this survey conducted both in 2011 and 2013 and provided
unquestionable responses in both surveys. Comparisons of individual business aspects were conducted among the marinas that
had the same business aspect in both years. For example, only marinas that had contractors in both years were used for
analysis of mean number of contractors in each year.

business spends money either to buy fixed assets or to add to the value of an existing fixed asset with a useful life that extends
beyond the taxable year. Capex are used by a company to acquire or upgrade marina physical assets such as equipment,
property, or buildings. In accounting, a capital expenditure is added to an asset account ("capitalized"), thus increasing the
asset's basis (the cost or value of an asset as adjusted for tax purposes).
8
A business tenant is a business entity that rents space at the marina from/ at which it operates. Business tenants operation may
or may not be related to boating; e.g., yacht sales or office space.

Q33. What was the average occupancy of all boat spaces at your marina between 1 July 2012 and 30 June
2013?
Occupancy rate is a percentage of nights all your boat storage spaces were occupied during all nights all your
boat storage spaces were available.
For example, if your marina was open from 1 September till 31 May (273 days/nights) and it had a total of 100
boat storage spaces (including berths/pens, moorings, hard stand and/or dry stack), then the total number of
available boat storage nights was 27,300. If 10 boat storage spaces were empty, lets say, for 30 nights during
those 9 months, you had 300 vacancy nights or 27,000 occupancy nights. So the total occupancy rate for your
marina would be 98.9% (27,000 occupancy nights/27,300 available nights). Most marina management
software can produce this result.
