King Street Wharf 3 (also known as Darling Harbour ferry wharf) is a commercial wharf located on the eastern side of Darling Harbour, serving the Sydney central business district. It is part of the King Street Wharf complex.
King Street Wharf 3 opened in circa 2000 as one of a number of wharves built as part of the King Street Wharf development. The Walker Report recommended that the King Street ferry wharf be upgraded and established as a Western city ferry hub to lessen ferry congestion at Circular Quay, with fare gates and ticketing machines introduced. These were implemented in October 2010.
It was used by Sydney Ferries First Fleet and RiverCat class ferries operating F3 Parramatta River and F4 Darling Harbour services from 2010 until 2017. On 26 June 2017, Sydney Ferries services ceased using the wharf with the opening of the nearby Barangaroo ferry wharf. The wharf is expected to be reopened for use by private operators.
