Brisbane Ferry Services Adjusted During Riverside Maintenance Works - Brisbane, QLD
Smart summary
Temporary timetable and terminal changes introduced as maintenance begins on parts of Brisbane’s ferry network.
Brisbane City Council has announced temporary changes to several City Cat and ferry services as scheduled maintenance work begins at selected terminals along the Brisbane River. The work commenced today, 7 August 2026, and is aimed at ensuring ferry infrastructure remains safe, reliable and accessible for the thousands of passengers who use the river transport network each day.
The maintenance program includes inspections of pontoons, gangways and terminal facilities, together with repairs designed to improve long-term reliability. Council officials said the work forms part of a routine infrastructure program intended to minimise future disruptions and maintain high safety standards across Brisbane's public transport system.
Passengers travelling during the maintenance period are advised to check updated timetables before commencing their journey. While most ferry services will continue operating, some routes may use nearby terminals or experience minor schedule adjustments while work is underway.
Brisbane's ferry network is an important part of the city's integrated public transport system, connecting suburbs along the Brisbane River with the central business district and popular recreational destinations. Thousands of commuters, students and tourists rely on the service every week, making regular maintenance essential to ensure continued safe operations.
Council representatives said the works have been scheduled to reduce disruption as much as possible while allowing engineers to complete inspections and repairs efficiently. Safety barriers and temporary signage have been installed at affected terminals, and transport staff are available to assist passengers requiring alternative boarding locations.
The maintenance program also supports Brisbane's long-term transport strategy by extending the life of key river infrastructure and improving accessibility for passengers with mobility needs. Engineers will inspect structural components exposed to river conditions, including floating pontoons, mooring systems and pedestrian access ramps.
Local businesses near ferry terminals are expected to remain open during the maintenance period, and visitors are encouraged to continue using nearby public transport services where available. Council has also reminded passengers to monitor official service updates for any additional timetable changes resulting from weather or operational requirements.
The project is expected to be completed in stages, with normal ferry operations resuming as individual terminals reopen following inspection and repair work. Authorities have thanked passengers for their patience and cooperation while the essential maintenance program is carried out.
