Location[]

Old QUT Gardens Point Ferry Wharf in 2009.

QUT Gardens Point wharf is adjacent to the Queensland University of Technology Gardens Point campus and a short walk from the City Botanic Gardens and Riverstage. The northern access to the Goodwill Bridge for pedestrians and cyclists lies to the south of this wharf. Parliament House lies to the north. It connects to the Brisbane central business district via William Street to the northwest.

History[]

The wharf was destroyed during the January 2011 Brisbane floods.[3] A temporary replacement opened on 18 April 2011.[4][5] The temporary wharf closed in early 2015 to allow a new permanent wharf to be built. The new wharf opened on 24 April 2015.[6]
