A new pontoon on the Brisbane river will allow kayakers and skis to access the river from West End with future plans for water a taxi dock.

Deputy Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the 25-meter long pontoon along Riverside Drive will be able to accommodate up to 10 vessels at a time.

The dock is the first functioning under the Brisbane City Council’s $8 million program over the next four years to provide mooring infrastructure along the river.
