The WA Government is investing $107 million to expand public transport options along the Swan River, helping to shape a more connected and vibrant Perth. Expanding ferry services is a natural step forward for our growing city.
This initiative will:
- activate high-density riverside precincts, making them more accessible and lively
- support economic growth through urban revitalisation
- enhance tourism by offering scenic and enjoyable travel options
- ease pressure on existing infrastructure with sustainable transport alternatives
- improve accessibility across the river for residents and visitors alike.
As part of this expansion, a new ferry route will connect the existing Elizabeth Quay terminal with two new terminals at Matilda Bay and Applecross.
Additional upriver routes and terminal locations are being explored.
