New cruise ship wharf opened

A new $44 million cruise ship wharf has been opened at the port of Eden, ending the need for passengers to be tendered ashore in small boats and reducing the likelihood of cruise ships cancelling a stopover due to rough conditions.

The extension of the existing wharf is a partnership involving the NSW Government with a $32 million contribution, $10 million from the Australian Government and $2 million from Bega Valley Shire Council.

The first cruise ship to use the wharf is scheduled to arrive with more than 2,000 passengers on September 15.

Aside from maintaining cruise ship interest in the port and developing local tourism products, future work planned includes a new passenger welcome centre, marina berths, and an overall port redevelopment.
