History

Original wharf

Ferry services to Bretts wharf were withdrawn in December 1998 when services east of Norman Park were withdrawn.[1] Services were restored in January 2007.[2]

In January 2011 the wharf sustained a minor damage during the Brisbane floods.[3] It was repaired, reopening on 14 February 2011.[4][5] It closed on 12 June 2015 and is to be demolished.[6]

New wharf

Current wharf under construction in November 2014

On 13 June 2015, a new wharf opened 200 metres east of the original wharf. It was built in association with improvement works to the adjoining Kingsford Smith Drive.[6][7]
