BOAT registrations have risen 40 per cent in a decade in Lake Macquarie and the Hunter, sparking a rush of plans for new and expanded marinas.
More than 20,000 boats were registered in Lake Macquarie and about 50,000 in the Hunter, figures that were growing about 4 per cent a year, according to studies done for planned marinas.

More than 100,000 Hunter people had boat licences and that figure was growing at about 3.2 per cent a year.
