Community service
The Church Point Ferry Service is an essential part of the Pittwater community. Residents living offshore rely on our regular schedule, including primary aged children. We operate a daily run to and from Newport School. We also deliver newspapers to wharves in the morning, and mail in the afternoon.
Ferries and the environment
Along with other sustainability initiatives, in 2011 the Church Point Ferry Service started a Green Ticket program. This was the first of its kind in the NSW public transport system.
83% of regular passengers participate. To date, through the Green Ticket program, our passengers have removed 177 tonnes of greenhouse gas from the atmosphere and planted 177 native trees.
