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Due to poor patronage caused by bad connections with the CityCat at New Farm Park, the cross river service was withdrawn and the wharf closed in 2000.[5] The wharf reopened and the cross river service resumed on 15 January 2007, with a proper connection to the CityCat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 The service was permanently withdrawn in October 2020 and the wharf was closed.[4]
