Deputy mayor Adrian Schrinner said the high-speed network would be installed at 20 terminals by the end of 2018.
“From the furthest stop upstream at UQ St Lucia to the last downstream terminal at Northshore Hamilton, every ferry terminal in Brisbane will be serviced by free public Wi-Fi," he said.
“Our 25 ferry terminals service thousands of residents and visitors every day and the installation of free Wi-Fi means passengers will be able to connect to our wireless service as they wait for CityCats, CityHoppers and cross-river CityFerries.”
The free network is already been installed and active at five terminals, including West End, Guyatt Park, Bretts Wharf and the two South Bank terminals.
Cr Schrinner said the WiFi at the ferry terminals would complement the council’s 275 hot spots across the city where residents and visitors could access the service including the Queen Street and Valley malls, 33 council libraries and several suburban shopping precincts.
“Council has made a four-year commitment to bring free WiFi into eight local suburban centres with Stones Corner, Sandgate, Wynnum, St Lucia, Moorooka and Sunnybank Hills shopping village precincts already receiving Council’s free public WiFi,” he said.
WiFi will also be rolled out at Nundah and Spring Hill in the 2018-19 financial year.
