The wharf sustained damage during the January 2011 Brisbane floods.List: CityCat, CityFerry terminal damage Brisbane Times 20 January 2011 Initially repair work was expected to take up to 18 months, but a survey by engineers showed that the timber access boardwalk, concrete waiting area and steel roof were intact, along with the mooring piles. The floating pontoon was full of water (due to overtopping into the access hatches on the deck), but was still connected to the mooring piles down on the river bed, and was recovered and refloated. A new aluminium gangway was fabricated, and the wharf reopened on 18 April 2011, three months after the flood event.CityCat service set for fast return Brisbane Times 1 February 2011CityCat and CityFerry services Brisbane City CouncilAll CityCat terminals except West End get back on deck The Courier Mail 18 April 2011
