Mathew Cranston (Twitter @mcranston1) has written that Property developer Kevin Seymour has put in a late bid for Abel Point Marina to Receivers McGrath Nicol.

MH Carnegie & Co (Mark Carnegie & possibly Andrew Robinson) are believed to have already lodged a price for the Marina. It should be noted that Mr Robinson & Mr Carnegie bought the Breakwater Marina in Townsville in 2008.

Abacus Property Group (Birkenhead Point NSW) may have also put in a bid for the marina.Expressions of interest for the Abel Point Marina closed a couple of weeks ago.
