Wadawurrung
Victoria
The Queenscliff Ferry terminal located in Wadawurrung Country, serves the increasingly busy ferry route that links the east and west sides of Port Phillip Bay at Queenscliff and Sorrento.
The project is the result of a 10 year collaboration between architect and client to create a landmark building that improves the passenger capacity and efficiency of the ferry operation, the quality of the passenger experience, and the range of facilities on offer.
The new terminal enables a substantial increase in capacity to deal with the growing number of passengers, particularly during the peak summer months and holiday periods.
For the client Searoad, and the Queenscliff township, the ferry terminal creates a destination that celebrates the ferry passage between Queenscliff and Sorrento. The design concept engages the broader context opportunities and local history, and marries these with a complex functional program in a way that is specific to its prominent location.
