Norman Park ferry wharf is a ferry terminal located on the southern side of the Brisbane River serving the Brisbane suburb of Norman Park in Queensland, Australia. It was served by Transdev Brisbane Ferries' cross-river service to New Farm Park. [1] [2] These services were suspended in July 2020 and the wharf was permanently closed in October 2020. [3] [4]

History

Due to poor patronage caused by bad connections with the CityCat at New Farm Park, the cross river service was withdrawn and the wharf closed in 2000. [5] The wharf reopened and the cross river service resumed on 15 January 2007, with a proper connection to the CityCat service. [6] [7] [8]

The wharf sustained moderate damage during the January 2011 Brisbane floods. [9] It reopened after repairs on 14 February 2011. [10] [11]

The cross river ferry service was suspended in July 2020 due to the hull condition of the cross-river ferry fleet. The service was permanently withdrawn in October 2020 and the wharf was closed. [4]
