It is owned by Auckland Council, as successor to the Auckland City Council, which bought it from Ports of Auckland in 2004 for NZ$46 million.[3]
In 2008, it received its second-time-running international 'Blue Flag award' for its water quality, environmental management and safety standards.[4] It is one of 640 marinas worldwide (and the only marina in New Zealand) to have received the award.[5]
