Weinam Creek Marina (Marina Redland Bay)

About Weinam Creek Marina (Marina Redland Bay)

Weinam Creek at Redland Bay is the mainland transport gateway to the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, combining the Marina Redland Bay ferry terminal, existing marine access and a major staged foreshore redevelopment. This is a busy public precinct rather than a traditional destination marina. We think its strength is connectivity: boats, passenger ferries, vehicle ferries, buses, commuter parking and island communities all meet at one practical edge of southern Moreton Bay.

Governed YouSail information records short- and long-term marina berthing, but current council project pages do not publish an operating berth count, vessel limits or a central casual-booking offer. Future marina expansion and master-plan images must not be treated as completed capacity. Anyone seeking a berth should contact the responsible marina operator or council with full vessel dimensions, insurance, dates and purpose, and obtain a specific allocation before approaching the ferry-terminal area.

The clearest completed boating improvement is the new public recreational ramp, opened separately from the former Banana Street ramp now reserved for emergency services. The three-lane facility includes a floating boarding pontoon, protective seawalls and 40 trailer spaces with 72-hour limits. More commuter parking, a pedestrian bridge, pathways, cycleway links, new bus stops and a Hamilton Street extension have also been delivered. What stands out to us is the way the project separates recreational launching from emergency and high-volume ferry activity.

The precinct remains under staged development, including planning for a multi-storey car park and later commercial and waterfront elements. Parking routes, work zones and access conditions can therefore change. There is no verified commercial fuel wharf, pump-out, travel lift, boatyard, chandlery, berth-holder showers, laundry or public Wi-Fi onsite. Nearby Redland Bay businesses may cover some needs, but skippers should arrange fuel, repairs and supplies independently rather than assuming the ferry terminal provides marina services.

Our take is that Weinam Creek is strongest for Southern Moreton Bay Island commuters, trailer-boat crews and locally based owners with confirmed berthing arrangements. The approach runs through shallow, bank-lined water with frequent ferry movements, so follow marked channels, maintain a good lookout and avoid obstructing terminal approaches. Check tides, weather and current Moreton Bay navigation information, then review the council project and parking updates before every visit. During active works, allow extra time and follow onsite traffic and marine directions.

Services

Weinam Creek is a public ferry, launching and foreshore precinct with existing marina berthing recorded in the governed directory. Current council pages do not publish a verified berth count, vessel limits or open casual-booking process, while future expansion remains staged. Contact the responsible operator with full vessel details and secure a precise allocation before treating berthing as available.

A new three-lane recreational ramp provides a floating boarding pontoon and 40 trailer-parking bays with 72-hour limits. The former Banana Street ramp is reserved for emergency-service vessels. Council has also delivered major commuter parking, a pedestrian bridge, paths, cycleway connections, bus stops and improved road access around the ferry terminal.

Fuel, pump-out, travel lift, boatyard, chandlery, berth-holder showers, laundry and public Wi-Fi are not verified onsite services. Arrange marine supplies and technical work elsewhere. Because redevelopment and parking projects remain active, check council updates before visiting. On the water, use marked channels, account for shallow banks and tide, keep clear of frequent passenger and vehicle ferries, and follow all terminal and construction directions.

Ideal for

Southern Moreton Bay Island commuters, trailer-boat crews and locally based owners needing a transport-focused Redland Bay gateway rather than a full-service cruising marina.

What we love

• Direct connection to the Southern Moreton Bay Islands
• A modern three-lane recreational boat ramp
• Separation of public and emergency launching
• Strong bus, parking, walking and cycling links
• A foreshore precinct improving in planned stages

To keep in mind

Marina capacity and future facilities are evolving, so confirm any berth with the responsible operator and check construction and parking updates. The creek is a busy ferry corridor through shallow bay waters; use marked channels and keep terminal approaches clear.
