This part of the peninsula was once used by European settlers as a coalmine and after the closure of the mine a company named Howard Smith used the site for fitting out ships. Our timber wharf dates from this time. Although no longer operating as a chandler, Howard Smith was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange until mid 2001 when it was taken over by Wesfarmers.

Now Hopetoun Quays boasts 108 townhouses with a marina development in Birchgrove, covering several acres that cascade down to the shores of Sydney harbour with extensive gardens and water features.
FMBS commenced in May 2001 and have been re-appointed annually since that date. We provide senior management 3 days a week and a full time site supervisor at this complex.
