The Southern Moreton Bay Islands Ferry Terminals Upgrade project has been in planning by Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) since 2014.

Council and TMR are working in partnership to deliver new ferry terminals at Russell, Macleay, Lamb, and Karragarra islands in consultation with island communities, Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation, SeaLink, and other key stakeholders. The project will also include repurposing the existing ferry pontoons and jetties for recreational use, such as fishing and mooring.

The new ferry terminals will meet the full requirements of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002, which are made under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

    Hi DDesigns,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    I'm pleased to advise that we have recently updated the SMBI Ferry Terminals Upgrade Project FAQs, which can be found on the project's Your Say page here. 

    I would also like to remind you of the project's November Open Houses which will be held on each of the four islands and on the mainland. 

    The Open Houses will provide an opportunity for the project team to present the ferry terminals' preliminary designs and receive feedback from the community. 

    Details about the Open Houses can be found here.

    We hope to see you there.

  • Share Hi, I have three suggestions re the new pontoon design, I hope they will be implemented! 1. Have the waiting area after, not before, the entrance to the fishing / mooring pontoon walkway. This will hopefully minimize interface between travellers and fishers - who in my experience smoke, drink and make mess. 2. If possible, move the fishing pontoon further away from the new pontoon. On the design, it looks inevitable the moorers and fishers will get in the way of ferries. 3. As per above, if there was more space between the pontoons, the designated mooring area could be in the protected space between the jetties and the fishing areas on the outside. on Facebook Share Hi, I have three suggestions re the new pontoon design, I hope they will be implemented! 1.

  • Share An old design showed the new jetty to be further away from the Barge landing ramp. This design now shows it closer to the ramp? This in itself only adds more risk to the situation and more concern for the Captains of the vessels. The provision of berthing of two ferries is a good idea but in this situation they will have to enter and leave across the considerable current that runs through the passage. It is much easier to come alongside directly int the current. Have any of the Barge or Ferry Captains been asked for there advice an this project. Will there be any practical consideration given for weather protection or will it be the same as Weinam Creek where if there is more than 10 Knots of wind there is not a dry seat outside of the waiting room to sit on. on Facebook Share An old design showed the new jetty to be further away from the Barge landing ramp.

  • Share Regarding the Macleay upgrade, I notice the existing Pontoon will be Repurposed for fishing and mooring. I'm probably not alone in thinking it would be great for our friends who have boats to be able to tie up and stay for a limited time - say 3-4 hours as they have done at Calypso Bay. We do not have any kind of pontoon anywhere on the Islands where anyone can moor a boat and step onto dry land, notwithstanding the end of the existing pontoon where the occasional tinny ties up. Are willing to provide actual finger pontoons to accommodate a number of boats of say 4 to 6 metres length? Politically, I doubt this would create a massive overload of buyers looking for high rise apartment development - it just makes sense for those weekend boaties who want to visit to do just that, and help the nearby businesses in the process.

  • Share Over the last 5 years the population growth on the islands has increased dramatically.

    Over the last 5 years the population growth on the islands has increased dramatically. With these new jetties there would have to be an increase in boat traffic to accommodate this growth which would either be multiple boats per hour or the need for larger craft .Has the need for larger vessels been taken into account with the new jetties? Has there been a survey or study of the expected population growth on the islands and whether the transport will be adequate? Has there been any studies relating to the environmental impact this increasing boat traffic is having on the island foreshores and mangrove area. The purchase of land for parking at Weinam creek will increase parking by how many vehicles and what is then the estimate of people residing on the islands which will then also require these people to have a 2nd vehicle on their respective island,where will that vehicle be parked.

    Hi Jeremy Collett,

    Thank you for your feedback. Your comments and suggestions were passed on to the project team. 

    I'm pleased to advise that we have recently updated the SMBI Ferry Terminals Upgrade Project FAQs, which can be found on the project's Your Say page here. 

    I would also like to remind you of the project's November Open Houses which will be held on each of the four islands and on the mainland. 

    The Open Houses will provide an opportunity for the project team to present the ferry terminals' preliminary designs and receive feedback from the community. 

    Details about the Open Houses can be found here.

    We hope to see you there.
