All the RAN keep there is some patrol boats. And its gets visited by the USN every so often when bringing in equipment for the rotational marine force that spends 6 months there. Theres been talk for years that the USN is building a base there, but its a pretty !!!!ty location for one. That all said a large contract was let by the DOD for construction of a large tank farm for storage of fuel in the last few weeks
