Closing the Loop on Superyachts

Initiatives driven both by yacht owners and by yacht businesses are making great strides toward a more considered environmental approach, as the Closing the Loop project at Gold Coast City Marina ably demonstrates.

It’s no wonder, then, that the region is making its mark with initiatives designed to help local communities, regional economies, and national climate goals through a series of initiatives backed both by the federal government and private business.
