Greetings&excl
The past 16 months I have been seeking approval from the NSW Government to operate a ferry service on the Northern Beaches of Sydney in Pittwater.
At this stage all attempts to get this service underway have fallen on deaf ears by ministers and decision makers alike.
However, as the proposal is still formally pending, I am seeking support from the community

The proposed standalone service will operate in and out of Newport Wharf and service Rowland reserve, Church Point, Scotland Island, Morning Bay, Palm Beach, Paradise Beach, Taylors Point, Saltpan and RMYC.
The timetable will run on Friday from 1600‐0000, Saturday 1200‐0000 and Sunday 1200‐2000 providing a reliable and handy travel option to the public.
The benefits of the proposed service are endless. Here are a few.
1. Give another parking option for offshore residents of Pittwater and open up the abundance of parking space at Rowland Reserve.
2. Reduce parking congestion at Church Point, Newport, Palm Beach and other problem areas.
3. Connection to and from the L90 bus that stops at Newport.
4. Giving residents of Clareville and surrounding suburbs a public transport service that doesn't exist after 7pm.
5. Safe and affordable travel to and from The Newport and RMYC
6.Reducing the amount of drink driving on the water during the weekend.
7. Taking vehicles off the road

The goal is to get to 1000 signatures and present to both the Secretary of Transport NSW Tim Reardon and the Minister for Transport Andrew Constance in the hope they may then listen to the local community’s needs.

Additional information about this ferry service can be obtained by viewing the Newport Ferry Service Facebook page.
