Important Service Updates
Service Notice
Brooklyn Ferry Service will resume our normal timetabled services departing from Brooklyn Public Wharf as of Saturday 6th June 2026, this is contingent upon Hornsby Shire Council providing a temporary lighting solution on the new pontoon and ramp facility until permanent lighting is installed, any lack of or delays in provision of lighting will see the ferry timetable revert to a daylight only service until rectified.
We would like to acknowledge the efforts of Hornsby Shire Council and Transport NSW, in delivering this long awaited upgrade to Brooklyn Public Wharf, and feel sure that our passengers with mobility issues will benefit most. Our service will now be wheelchair and mobility aid friendly between the Brooklyn and Dangar Island Stops, with a dedicated area on the ferry to accommodate occasional wheelchairs
Furthermore we would like recognise the the incredible efforts undertaken by Hawkesbury Water Taxis and their staff, in maintaining a timetabled service for the community and visiting tourists during the period in which Brooklyn Ferry Service did not have an adequate docking facility available to allow us to provide services.
Further Information on the facility upgrade is available at Councils website by following the link below.
We appreciate the patience shown by all during this period
