Who Are We
Charles Parsons

As a young man, Charles Parsons was a professional yacht skipper in the Mediterranean for over 10 years. Upon returning to Australia in the 1980s, he managed marinas in Sydney for 12 years.
Charles then established Marine Advisory Services Pty Ltd, a waterfront construction company, in the late 90s and that business continues to expand.
His vast experience of waterfront development led him to establish Foreshore Design Solutions Pty Ltd in 2009 as he saw a need for specialist planning.
Charles’ extensive and eclectic knowledge of the sea, boats, waterfront facilities and the planning system has made him a highly regarded consultant.
