History

Prior to the construction of the Ryde Bridge in the 1930s, Ryde wharf, located to the east of Meadowbank wharf at the current Ryde Bridge site, was the passenger wharf servicing the area.

Silt in the river and sludge from factory and industrial waste upstream led to the suspension of Sydney Ferries Limited services to Parramatta in 1928, with Meadowbank wharf becoming the westernmost point for ferry services.^[1] In December 1993, the State Transit Authority resumed services to Parramatta.^[2][3]

Wharf before the upgrade in 2013

Today Meadowbank wharf is served by Sydney Ferries Parramatta River services operating between Circular Quay and Parramatta.^[4] The single wharf is served by RiverCat, River and Parramatta River class ferries. In late 2015, an upgrade of the wharf commenced.^[5] It was completed in May 2016.^[6]
