Moves to replace Daintree River ferry
EXPRESSIONS of interest (EOI) have opened to potentially find the next supplier and/or operator of the Daintree River ferry.
The nationwide EOI process was advertised recently.
Douglas Shire Council Mayor Michael Kerr said he was pleased the council was exploring its options regarding the critical public transport service.
He said the council “is committed to replacing the ageing vessel and the call for expressions of interest is the first step in that process.”
Companies have until October 18 to lodge their interest. The ageing vessel was bought by the council for $4.5 million in 2021.
