We have a number of jetties so the infrastructure is already there and the Barrack Street Jetty that now forms part of the Elizabeth Quay development. Currently there is a short ferry service run by Transperth, the state government operated rail and bus service.
The Transperth ferry connects Barrack Street Jetty to the Mends Street Jetty in South Perth. It is then just a short walk to Perth Zoo, this short service has run for as long as I can recall.
A short shuttle around the Perth foreshore from Elizabeth Quay to On the Point and then onto Claisebrook Cove is undertaken by a private ferry service. As the Americans say, a ferry service from the train station at Elizabeth Quay to the new Perth Stadium is a no-brainer.
I am looking more at connecting the riverside suburbs of Perth to the CBD, the Rottnest Island ferries operate from the Barrack Street Jetty and have done so for a long time.
The Applecross Jetty, the Coode Street Jetty and JoJo's Cafe could run a reasonable service much like Sydney's Manly Ferry to Circular Quay. Possible even the East Street Jetty in Fremantle could be connected to a service
