About the project
Council has one (1) monohull ferry (Kalparrin) which was historically used to provide cross river services.
The restoration of Kalparrin will be tendered to shipwrights through a competitive tender process. Kalparrin will be restored to comply with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Survey requirements.
The successful shipwright will also undertake modifications to ensure compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (1992) (DDA) and associated Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (2002) (DSAPT). Council continues to engage with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) throughout the monohull restoration process and program of work.
Kalparrin
The steel hulled monohull Kalparrin was launched in June 1993.
