The Central Coast Marine Discovery Centre was officially opened on 1st March, 2010 in the presence of guests, visitors and dignitaries, including the Vice Chancellor of Newcastle University.

This exciting new facility caters for families, tourists and marine researchers. Strategically positioned in close proximity to the ex HMAS Adelaide Diving Wreck, the Marine Discovery Centre will play a significant role in providing interactive experiences and activities for the local community including school groups, families, seniors, domestic and international tourists and marine researchers. It will also be a hub for marine research and to share our vision of establishing a place to educate students in the care of the marine environment as well developing the Marine Science students of the future.

The Central Coast Marine Discovery Centre is open 10am to 4pm on Weekends and during school holidays.

The Minister for Lands, Hon Tony Kelly handed over the keys to the former Terrigal Tourism Office on Wednesday, 5th August. The building will be fitted out as the Central Coast Marine Discovery Centre commencing immediately. It is planned that the Centre will open in December 2009 before the school holidays.
