Wahine Drive Boat Ramp

The Wahine Drive Boat Ramp is a two-lane concrete ramp located on Russell Island, Queensland, providing access to the sheltered waters between Russell and North Stradbroke Islands.

It is a deep-water facility in a relatively protected area, making vessel launching straightforward. Rubbish bins are available on site, though parking can become limited during busy periods.

The presence of ferry traffic and fuel runoff makes the area unsuitable for swimming. An $800,000 upgrade, funded through the 2025–26 Queensland State Budget, is planned for the ramp.

The works will deliver a central floating walkway to improve the safety and efficiency of launching and retrieving vessels, along with navigational aids and a dedicated canoe ramp.

Construction is expected to begin in late 2025, with completion anticipated by mid-2026.
