Palm Beach ferry service resumes today
The Palm Beach to Ettalong ferry will resume regular service from today, Monday, October 16.
"Recent dredging of the Ettalong Channel successfully removed 29,300 cubic metres of sand from the channel to provide a safe navigation route for the ferry," according to a statement published on the Transport for NSW website last week.
Resumption of the service was "allowing passengers to get back on board ahead of the busy summer season", it said.
"With the return of services to Ettalong and Wagstaffe wharfs, the temporary free shuttle ferry and bus services to Patonga Wharf will no longer be require."
They will also cease today.
"The ferry operator has slightly modified its timetable to ensure a safe and reliable service that better serves the community, including enhanced services between Ettalong and Wagstaffe."
Under the new timetable, services will depart Ettalong every day at 9:30am, 10:50am, 12:30pm, 2:20pm, 4pm, 4:50pm and 6:20pm.
Extra services will run weekdays at 6am, 7am and 7:50am.
