Bellerive Ferry Terminal
We are developing a design for an improved, all-weather ferry terminal at Bellerive.
About the project
Feedback we received during consultation on the River Derwent Ferry Masterplan has been considered in creating the design for an improved ferry terminal at Bellerive. We will use this design for future River Derwent ferry terminals.
The River Derwent Ferry service between Bellerive and Sullivan’s Cove has been a great success with more than 500 passengers a day choosing to cross the River Derwent by ferry.
To enhance the passenger experience and encourage people to use active transport, the Tasmanian Government has committed to upgrade the Bellerive Ferry Terminal at Bellerive Wharf.
The project is funded by the Tasmanian Government.
Project impact
We are not expecting any impacts to residents during the design process, but we will need to conduct inspections in and around the existing Bellerive Ferry Terminal from October 2024 to February 2025.
River Derwent Ferry Service expansion
In addition to the planned improvements to the Bellerive Ferry Terminal, the Tasmanian Government has committed to build on the popularity and success of the existing Bellerive to Hobart service by expanding the River Derwent Ferry Service to other locations in greater Hobart under a River Derwent Ferry Masterplan.
The design for the Bellerive Ferry Terminal will be used at all new sites subject to local approvals.
You can find out more about the River Derwent Ferry here.
Timing
The final design should be completed by mid 2025, with construction of the new Bellerive Ferry Terminal is expected to start in late 2025. A copy of the final design will be shown on this web page when completed.
