Sydney's Greenwich Point Wharf upgrade begins with traditional smoking ceremony


Construction of the Greenwich Point Wharf upgrade has officially commenced, marked by a traditional Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country.

The new wharf design incorporates sustainability features and Connecting with Country elements, including permanent indigenous artworks.

These artworks were created in collaboration with Aboriginal artist Shane Youngberry, with storytelling contributions from Uncle Rodney Mason and Aunty Thelma Rudd.

The Greenwich Point Wharf upgrade will feature a new floating pontoon connected by an extended gangway, as well as a passenger lift and stairs.

These improvements aim to enhance safety and accessibility, providing equitable access from the street level and the bus stop directly to the wharf.

Steven Issa, Executive Director of Planning and Programs at Transport for NSW, acknowledged the community’s input during the design process.

“Following important feedback from the community and Lane Cove Council, we made some changes during the design phase, which included maximising weather protection,” Issa explained.

For this project, BESIX Watpac, the company responsible for delivering the upgrade, is collaborating with local marine contractor Polaris Marine Group. Stephen Richmond, General Manager of Polaris Marine Group, who expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating: “We look forward to delivering a new wharf design that increases functionality and access for passengers.”

The Greenwich Point Wharf will be closed for approximately eight months, from April 22 until late 2024, to accommodate the upgrade work.

This temporary closure is part of the broader effort to improve Sydney’s ferry infrastructure and enhance the overall public transport experience for commuters.

This project is part of Transport for NSW’s Safe Accessible Transport Program, aimed at making public transport more inclusive and user-friendly.
