Until October 2013, It was served by
Sydney Ferries Parramatta River services operating between
Circular Quay and
Cockatoo Island. The single wharf was served by
First Fleet class ferries. The service was withdrawn due to low patronage. In November 2024 the then Transport Minister
Jo Haylen announced Balmain West would reopen in the second half of 2025. As of December 2024, construction has started. On 23 July 2025 Transport Minister
John Graham announced that the wharf would reopen on 18 August 2025. It was also announced that
Transport for NSW was also assessing the feasibility of a new weekend ferry route to connect the inner harbour suburbs to the city, as well as a service between Barangaroo and the new
Sydney Fish Market. ==References==
