More details on a plan for a new marina in St George’s are expected to be revealed in the House of Assembly tomorrow.

Wayne Furbert, the acting Minister of Public Works, will give a statement on the project, mentioned in last week’s Throne Speech.

The Government has said it planned to develop a strategic plan for the town, including the construction of a marina.

Mr Furbert added: “I am pleased to advise that a solution had been found to advance the marina project for St George’s which will see the Corporation of St George's benefit from a leasehold arrangement and the rental income and revenue that will come.

“In a ministerial statement to the House of Assembly on Friday I will provide additional details, including a timeline for the start of work on the marina as well as a projected date for completion.”

Lieutenant-Colonel David Burch, the public works minister, who has been absent from his post for several months, said last November that the regeneration of St George's could turn it into a world-class yachting centre.

He said at the time that superyacht legislation would be “harnessed” to present a Bill to support the construction of a marina.

Colonel Burch added: “The marina will be a catalyst for the transformation of St George’s into a world-renowned yachting destination.

“Development of the marina will also have the benefit of providing much needed economic stimulation and community pride in the Olde Towne.”

The Opposition One Bermuda Alliance will give its response to Government’s Throne Speech today.

The Cruise Ships (Casinos) Amendment Act – which will allow cruise ships to extend their casino opening hours in port – will get its second reading.

The Bermuda National Trust Amendment Act, designed to allow an administrative shake-up of the trust, will also get a second reading.

Public safety restrictions could be extended when MPs consider the Public Health (Covid-19) Emergency Extension (No. 6) Order.
