About the project
The Mowbray Park ferry terminal is located at Mowbray Park, East Brisbane. Along with being of a flood-resilient design, the upgraded terminal is compliant with the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (DSAPT) and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA).
The upgrades included:
- removing the existing pontoon, gangway and associated piles
- repurposing and refurbishing the existing waiting area to provide a more open and transparent space
- installing an additional fixed walkway connecting from the repurposed waiting area to a new flood resilient gangway and a dual berth pontoon designed to support all vessels in our ferry fleet
- installing new piles associated with the fixed walkway, pontoon restraint and ferry movement
- incorporating a new look and feel including ferry terminal identification signage
- improved lighting and safety features such as increased CCTV coverage.
The terminal now provides improved accessibility, with works on the landslide also including:
- upgrading the passenger set down to ensure DDA compliance and vehicle turnaround area at the end of Park Avenue
- providing PWD parking spaces and new access paths
- landscaping works to improve amenity and complement the Mowbray Park setting
- improving lighting and safety.
