Northcote Point ferry wharf closure Northcote Point ferry wharf closure

Northcote Point wharf was closed as a precaution in June 2018 after structural issues were identified through routine inspections. The Board of Auckland Transport (AT) has now approved funding of around $1 million to extend the life of the 60-year-old structure, and to allow ferry operations to resume. Renewal works will take around 12 months to complete, which means the wharf is likely to reopen at the end of 2019. Once the wharf is renewed and services resume, there will still be some ferry cancellations due to weather and marine conditions at the exposed site.

Public transport options

The Northcote Point ferry service will be removed as a travel option on AT’s Journey Planner while the wharf is being repaired. Customers can still catch the ferry from Birkenhead.

For city bound bus connections from Northcote Point wharf to Onewa Road and Smales Farm, please use the 928 service, which runs regularly between 7:00am and 7:00pm (approximately).
