Douglas Shire Council and Cook MP David Kempton have advised residents north of the Daintree River that the temporary passenger ferry service will be closed until at least midday today as the mop-up continues.

“The morning passenger ferry and bus service, including the school bus, will not operate tomorrow morning (Monday),” the release stated.

“An assessment of operating conditions, including approaches and landing areas, will be carried out as early as possible in the morning.

“If it is safe to do so, the ferry service will resume at midday.”

A further update is expected at 10am.
