Barangaroo ferry wharf is a planned ferry terminal to be built on the eastern side of Darling Harbour as part of the Barangaroo redevelopment on the north-western corner of the Sydney central business district. The new terminal will consist of two wharves, with provision for a third wharf in the future. The terminal will be served by Sydney Ferries F3 Paramatta River and F4 Darling Harbour services.
History
Ferry services to the Darling Harbour precinct were originally serviced by the Darling Harbour Aquarium wharf. This was the only wharf to service Darling Harbour until Pyrmont Bay was opened in the early 2000s.[nb 1] In 2007, the Walker Report recommended a new ferry terminal at Darling Harbour be built to ease congestion on the network, especially at Circular Quay.[1] The wharf was to be situated at the Darling Harbour wharf, and services to the Aquarium wharf, 250 metres to the east, phased out.[nb 2] Thus Darling Harbour wharf, which was a stop on the Parramatta River service, was chosen as a site for a new terminal. The Aquarium wharf continued to operate as part of Darling Harbour ferry services until 10 October 2010, when as part of a new timetable change all Sydney Ferries services were diverted to Darling Harbour.

"A new ferry hub at Barangaroo will provide room for additional ferry services from the Parramatta River to Darling Harbour and Barangaroo, as well as direct access to and from the eastern suburbs and lower north shore."
The Barangaroo area, which had been a derelict port for years, had been a long-proposed site for urban renewal. Following proposals put forward by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and reviews by the O'Farrell State Government, major construction and redevelopment at Barangaroo began in 2011.[4] In May 2013, the State Government outlined plans to build a new terminal at Barangaroo to replace Darling Harbour.[5] As well as allowing for additional services on the F3 Paramatta River route, the increased capacity will allow other routes, such as the F7 Eastern Suburbs route to also use the new wharves.[3] It is proposed that all Sydney Ferries services will use the new Barangaroo in lieu of Darling Harbour.[6]
Design
The design of the wharf will be similar to redeveloped wharves at Cremorne Point, Balmain East and Sydney Olympic Park; each wharf will be covered with a silver dome-like shelter.[6] Access to the wharf directly from the city at Wynyard will be accommodated by the Wynyard Walk, which is being extended to provide access to the South Barangaroo precinct from Wynyard railway station.[7] This walk will be further extended to the Barangaroo wharf, linking the ferries to the Sydney Trains system as a transport interchange.[8]
Construction
Construction is scheduled to commence in 2015, with the wharves to open in 2016.[9] In April 2015, Transport for NSW issued Invitations to Tender to three companies to build the wharves.[10] A contract was awarded to McConnell Dowell in September.[11]
Services
Barangaroo Wharf will consist of four platforms on two wharves. One wharf will berth ferries travelling on the F3 Paramatta River service, while another will berth ferries travelling on the F4 Darling Harbour service. Provision will be made for a third wharf.[6][10]
