History

When the Cockatoo Island Dockyard was in operation, Sydney Ferries Limited operated services to the island at shift changeover times.

In April 2007, the wharf reopened for a three-month trial coinciding with the reopening of the island as a tourist attraction. [1] Since then services have expanded, and today it is served by Sydney Ferries Parramatta River services operating between Circular Quay and Parramatta. [2] It is also the terminus for all stops Cockatoo Island services from Circular Quay. [3] In 2017 the wharf was rebuilt. [4]

The single wharf is served by First Fleet, River, Parramatta River and RiverCat class ferries.
