Getting to Elizabeth Quay

Elizabeth Quay is located on the edge of the picturesque Swan River, between Barrack and William streets in the heart of Perth CBD. Look for the Bell Tower to find Barrack Street Jetty.
Accessibility
Elizabeth Quay’s cobblestone paving is rougher on the internal roads, helping to slow traffic and provide a tactile demarcation for visually impaired visitors between roads and pedestrian pavements.
There's a number of crossing points at the quay where smoother pedestrian grade granite gives a continuous accessible pathway to pedestrians, wheelchair users and people pushing prams.
Ramps are available at various locations providing access between the promenades and tiered decking on the landing.
The bridge is also accessible by wheelchair.
Accessible toilets are available at all public toilet facilities which are located at Barrack Street Jetty, the Island and opposite Elizabeth Quay Water Park.
Elizabeth Quay is home to WA's first Changing Places facility. This fully accredited changing facility is for people who can’t use a standard universal accessible toilet and might need assistance or specialist bathroom equipment.
The Changing Places facility is located in the same building as Oyster Bar, right next to Elizabeth Quay Water Park. It has an adult-sized height-adjustable change table, tracking hoist system, extra space for carers or wheelchairs and a centrally placed toilet.
You will need your own MLAK key to access the facility. Keys are available from Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia.
Short term ACROD bays are available on The Esplanade, Riverside Drive and Geoffrey Bolton Avenue.
The location of longer term, off street ACROD bays in the Perth CBD is available on the Department of Transport map. Visit City of Perth Parking or Wilson Parking for address and entry details, rates, opening hours and available bays at these carparks.
The safest place to pick up and drop off passengers is at Barrack Street Jetty.
Taxi ranks are located at Barrack Street Jetty and Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. There are also ranks on nearby streets (north towards the city) at William Street (near the Hay Street Mall), Wesley Church (Hay Street) and London Court (St George’s Terrace).
Seeing Eye Dogs and other dogs are welcome at the quay.
Our Disability Access and Inclusion Plan outlines what we are doing to improve access to our services, facilities, information and employment for people with disability, in accordance with the Disability Services Act 1993.
Transport Options
The Elizabeth Quay Train Station and Busport (formerly The Esplanade Station) is located across the road from Elizabeth Quay and just 400m from Barrack Street Jetty. Exit the train station/busport on The Esplanade and walk east until you reach the quay, or continue towards Barrack Street (300m), turn right and head south towards the river (100m) to find Barrack Street Jetty.
Take the free CAT bus right to Barrack Street Jetty's front door or get off at the Elizabeth Quay Busport over the road. The blue CAT runs in a north south direction between Barrack Street Jetty (stop 18) and Northbridge all week:

The inlet is home to twenty-four short stay boat moorings for public use.
To enter the inlet, recreational boats must be able to pass under the pedestrian bridge. The bridge provides a clearance of 4.5m off the water which will allow most 12m and 10m boats with a flybridge into the inlet at all stages of the tide.
The 18 short stay moorings are available to the public for stays of three hours or less. Visitors should be aware that the availability of the short stay berths may be affected by water based events.
Ten swing moorings are available outside the inlet opening to accommodate larger vessels.
For more information on recreational boating in Perth waters visit the Department of Transport.
You can find a limited number of paid parking bays on Enchantress Way, Duchess Way and Barrack Street Jetty which are available for 15 minutes and one hour for motorcycles and ACROD. However, these bays may be unavailable if building construction is taking place and adjoining lots.
If you need more time at Elizabeth Quay you can find longer parking options just a short distance away. Visit City of Perth Parking (CPP) or Wilson Parking (WP) for locations, rates, opening hours and available bays.
