History
[edit]Until October 2013, It was served by Sydney Ferries Parramatta River services operating between Circular Quay and Cockatoo Island.[1] The single wharf was served by First Fleet class ferries. The service was withdrawn due to low patronage.[2][3][4][5]
In November 2024 Transport Minister Jo Haylen announced Balmain West would reopen in the second half of 2025. As of December 2024, construction has started.[6]
