'Game changer' for local tourism with a new pontoon to link Brisbane CBD with North Stradbroke Island

A new ferry link between Brisbane's CBD and North Stradbroke Island will be open before Christmas, Queensland Tourism Minister Kate Jones says.

"Before the end of year, Queenslanders and Brisbane residents will be able to come down to Howard Smith Wharves, which will be the gateway to Moreton Bay," she said. She said the pontoon would make ferry day trips to the Moreton Bay island much easier, cutting out the need to travel to Cleveland and Redland Bay.It requires a 30-kilometre drive to Cleveland and a 30-minute ferry from Toondah Harbour to Dunwich on the island.

Member for McConnel Grace Grace said the new plan would mean the trip to Stradbroke Island would take only 40 minutes.

It seems easier, quicker, and probably cheaper just to drive to Cleveland and catch the ferry from there.

Who is g owing to use it?

Just a shame that the Queensland Premier has closed the borders and stopped tourists from visiting the state

Wouldn’t it make more sense to have the departure point(s) outside the CBD, so people can park’n’ride. Hamilton and Balmoral, for example?
