Bretts is a ferry wharf in the suburb of Hamilton used by the CityCat on the Brisbane River.

It was the terminus for downstream CityCat services until Apollo Road reopened in 2008.

In January 2011 the wharf sustained a minor damage during the devastating floods;[1] it was repaired and reopened on 14 February 2011.[2][3]

Upgrade plans

A new CityCat terminal was constructed 200 metres downriver from the existing CityCat terminal. The new CityCat terminal includes pontoons for two CityCats and waiting area with seating for 50 people. The existing CityCat terminal will be removed. Following the January 2011 flood construction of a new terminal have been postponed.[4]
