North Quay 1 & 2 ferry wharves are wharves on the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. They form the main hub of the BCC Ferries network. This is the upstream terminus of the Inner CityFerry service.

Location

They are in Zone 1 of the TransLink integrated public transport system. They are located off Queens Wharf Road and connect directly to the Bicentennial Bikeway. They are the closest ferry wharves to the Queen Street Mall and the rest of the Brisbane CBD. They lie under and to the south of the CBD end of the Victoria Bridge. This terminal provides the closest access point to the Conrad Treasury Casino.

Description

The terminal comprises an long L shaped pier with one pontoon (Wharf 2) at the junction of the long and short arms and the other pontoon (Wharf 1) at the free end of the shorter arm. Each pontoon has a single docking station. Generally, the CityCats coming downstream and upstream tie up at pontoon 2. However, at times, when two CityCats arrive at the same time, those coming upstream tie up at pontoon 1. The CityFerry service however uses only pontoon 1 as its upstream terminus. The terminal has a covered passenger waiting area, with a Telstra pay phone and a drinking water fountain. Two flights of stairs across the Bicentennial Bikeway connect the head of the terminal to the Brisbane CBD via William Street. Parking used to be available on the Queens Wharf Road but was closed down from March 2009. Pavement motorbike parking is available at the head of the stairs connecting the terminal to William Street.
