The existing jetty was deemed inadequate and new company was registered in 1882 which built a new pier between 1883 and 1884. It was designed by FDG Stanley and the builder was John Watson. It was originally long but this extended by another to allow ferries to dock at low tide. A small toll was collected at the entry to the pier. Ferry services had mixed commercial success. The last ferry to Brisbane ran in 1928. At that time the pier housed an amusement parlour including gaming machines and an open air picture theatre.
