Connect Walsh Bay to the Sydney Ferries Network

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, We, the undersigned, call for Walsh Bay be connected to the Sydney Ferries network, including Circular Quay and the broader harbour network. Historically one of Australia’s most significant maritime precincts, ferries sail past Walsh Bay’s four heritage finger wharves daily without stopping. A ferry connection would significantly enhance accessibility, sustainability, and cultural vibrancy in this waterfront area. Home to the world-class Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, Pier One hotel, and various harbourside restaurants, Walsh Bay hosts major cultural events such as the Sydney Festival and New Year's Eve celebrations. The Walsh Bay Arts Precinct is vital to Sydney's creative identity, housing nine leading performing arts companies, including the Sydney Theatre Company and Sydney Dance Company, drawing thousands of visitors weekly. A ferry connection would: • Strengthen Sydney's cultural and tourism economy by improving access to the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct • Improve connectivity for residents, visitors and large workforce, bridging the gap between Walsh Bay and major transport hubs at Circular Quay and Barangaroo • Promote sustainable transport, reducing dependence on private vehicles and ease road congestion • Enhance night-time activation with improved evening transport options for arts patrons and hospitality visitors • Celebrate the area's maritime heritage and represent a vital investment in Sydney's connectivity and cultural future We therefore ask the Legislative Assembly to call on the NSW Government to investigate connecting Walsh Bay to the Sydney Ferries harbour network, which would bring significant benefits to this iconic Sydney destination.
