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.
History
King Street Wharf 3 opened in circa 2000 as one of a number of wharves built as part of the King Street Wharf development.[1] 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.[2] These were implemented in October 2010.[3][4]
It was used by Sydney Ferries First Fleet and RiverCat class ferries operating F3 Parramatta River and F4 Darling Harbour services from 2010 until 2017.[5][6] On 26 June 2017, Sydney Ferries services ceased using the wharf with the opening of the nearby Barangaroo ferry wharf.[7] The wharf is expected to be reopened for use by private operators.[citation needed]
