Mends Street Jetty closure

Work will soon begin at Mends Street Jetty to improve accessibility for passengers across the network.

In accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1992, a range of work will be carried out to improve access to Transperth ferry services at Mends Street Jetty for all passengers, regardless of their mobility requirements.

The work includes

• Construction of a new pedestrian ramp connected to a floating boarding platform
• Installation, of passenger gates to control passenger boarding and alighting movements
• Improved weather protection.

Construction will begin on Monday, October 24, 2022, and take approximately six weeks to complete.

Construction impacts will include:

• Passengers using mobility scooters and wheelchairs will not be able to board the ferry service from Mends Street Jetty or Elizabeth Quay. Alternative public transport options can be found on the Transperth website or app.
• Mends Street ticketing machines will be unavailable while the work is carried out. Passengers are requested to purchase their tickets onboard with cash as there are no credit card facilities available. Passengers needing to pay with card will be able to board and purchase a ticket using ticketing machines at Elizabeth Quay at the end of their journey.
• Minor pedestrian traffic management be in place as required.
