The $6.3 million Homebush Bay Wharf took 15 months to complete and was opened in September 1997. This facility is yet another part of the NSW government’s transport system for the games. The wharf, located in an open space at the northern end of the Parramatta river features seats for 75 people, shade (and 320 square metres of detachable shade canopies for peak periods), covered walkways from the bus to ferry interchange and has protection from the elements in the waiting area.
