The new Mandorah boat ramp facility, located across the harbour from Darwin city

Construction of the new Mandorah Marine Facilities has been completed.

The facilities include a new boat ramp, ferry terminal with toilet facilities, car park upgrades and an improved experience for ferry users, including access improvements for people with disability.

The facility includes a gangway platform leading to a floating pontoon that features bench seating and shade for ferry users. The pontoon is designed for a capacity of 150 people.

An extended car park includes a bus parking bay and four accessible car parks at the top of the access ramp to gangway.

About 80,000 tonnes of rock was used to build the two breakwaters, which form the new basin to provide protection from sea swells and wave action.

The new facilities are currently being commissioned for ferry operations and are expected to be open to the public from 16 August 2025. The $85 million project was delivered by SMC Marine.
