Marina

The Wirrina Cove marina received planning approval from the Government of South Australia in 1988. Construction was expected to start in 1989 and take 10 months to complete.[10] At the time of its construction, it was described as a $45 million project.[11] After its completion, the marina was renamed Marina St. Vincent.
