Council is committed to providing frequent and reliable ferry services to help Kangaroo Point residents connect to the people and places you love.

With our record investment in new infrastructure nearing completion, the iconic Kangaroo Point Bridge opening on 15 December and the Mowbray Park ferry terminal upgrade also opening soon, we expect the way people travel and use ferry services in Kangaroo Point will change.

As a result, we are looking at how our existing ferry services can better support Kangaroo Point residents. That's why we've developed a plan to better link Kangaroo Point with three new frequent Cross River routes dedicated to serving these terminals.

The new routes will operate at least every 15 minutes, providing frequent and reliable connections to the CBD and New Farm, as well as the wider CityCat network at Sydney Street, Riverside, and QUT Gardens Point terminals.

Your new ferry network will:

  • introduce more frequent services
  • provide better connections to the high-frequency CityCat network
  • provide more capacity and improved reliability.

    Brisbane City Council wants to improve ferry services to and from Kangaroo Point. We have developed a plan that will deliver more frequent and less crowded services, while also providing better connections to CityCat Services.

    It is proposed that the existing CityHopper and Inner-City Cross River routes be reconfigured into three new higher-frequency Cross River routes:

    • Maritime Museum - QUT Gardens Point
    • Holman street - Riverside
    • Dockside - Sydney Street

    These new routes will operate at least every 15 minutes.


  • How does this plan compare to the existing services?

    CityHopper services currently operate to all Inner-City terminals except for QUT Gardens Point. These services are:

    • infrequent - operating only every 36 minutes
    • often full - with limited capacity for only 60 customers
    • much slower than CityCats due to speed restrictions

    Inner-City Cross River services operate every half-hour between Holman Street and Howard Smith Wharves via Riverside.

    These services operate independently and connections to CityCat services are not planned.
