Strategy and Advocacy
The regulatory and management frameworks that sit across waterways and adjacent land are complex, and the interests of stakeholders are often conflicting. Good things don’t come easy in this space.
Estuary Partners engage to understand objectives, opportunities, and constraints. We build a draft game-plan with clients and key partners, then calibrate our approach with insight gained from decades of combined yet varied experience.
When it comes to delivery, we are experienced in stakeholder and government engagement and our network empowers us to form sharp and effective teams
We can partner for the whole journey, or consult on specific parts.
Talk to us about:
- infrastructure design, consent, and delivery
- waterway management and related policy
- waterway access and boat storage
- land management and planning
- regulatory affairs and government relations
- out-of-the-box ideas
Technology and Innovation
Our niche area of focus is ripe for new thinking, new tools and systems, and a new approach.
Estuary Partners is always on the lookout for new and different ways to operate efficiently, maximise safety and environmental outcomes, and drive collaboration between industry, regulators, and waterway users.
In 2021 David Gore and Alan Barrett acquired Marina Focus from MSL Solutions.
Building on more than a decade observing and advising on the evolving needs of yacht clubs, marinas, and harbour managers in the region, the pair have formed InFocus Software in Sydney to refresh, renew, and reinvigorate the famous Marina Management System (MMS) and deliver new features and functionality.
Environment Health & Safety
Estuary Partners now incorporates Environmental Dynamics – the boating industry-specialist environmental consultancy established by Tony Griffin in 2005.

After many years collaborating within the Boating Industry Association, Tony and Alan have formed a partnership to deliver relevant and practical EHS support to boating industry stakeholders and authorities alike.
