South Bank ferry terminal upgrade - South Brisbane

Brisbane City Council is in the planning stages for the a future upgrade of the South Bank ferry terminal (current South Bank 1 and 2 ferry terminals).

Project summary

About the project

Council has identified the South Bank ferry terminal for an upgrade to meet the requirements of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (DSAPT) (2002) and Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

The existing terminal, consisting of two separate pontoons, caters exclusively for CityCat vessels and has been operational since 1996. The terminal is an important piece of infrastructure providing access to the South Bank Parklands precinct and greater South Brisbane area.

The proposed upgrade will result in a change from two separate pontoons, to a single, larger pontoon with a large waiting area on the facility. The upgraded South Bank ferry terminal will consolidate future CityCat and CityHopper services.

Council is working closely with South Bank Corporation to progress the designs of the South Bank ferry terminal.

The project will form part of Council's commitment of more than $70 million over the next four years to upgrade existing ferry terminals across the city to improve accessibility for all users.
