King Street Wharf 3 (also known as Darling Harbour ferry wharf) is a commercial wharf located on the eastern side of Darling Harbour, serving the Sydney central business district. It is part of the King Street Wharf complex and was served by Sydney Ferries F3 Parramatta River and F4 Darling Harbour services from 2010 to 2017, with operation returning to private ownership on 26 June 2017.[1][2] The wharf has a single jetty with two faces and was served by First Fleet and RiverCat class ferries.
History
Darling Harbour wharf opened in circa 2000 as part of the King Street Wharf complex.[3] The Walker Report recommended that the King Street ferry wharf be upgraded and established as a Western city ferry hub to lessen ferry congestion at Circular Quay, with fare gates and ticketing machines introduced.[4] These were implemented in 2010.[5] On 26 June 2017, Sydney Ferries services to the wharf ceased after its replacement, the Barangaroo ferry wharf opened, returning ownership and operation of the wharf to private ferries and services.[6][7]
