The Great Lakes Council's parks and recreation manager, David Bortfeld, said the council already had projects planned for the next financial year.
He said the council had no immediate plans to replace the frayed timber laminate decking on the public wharf used by ferry operators.
"I am aware the wharf does not look as attractive as the other [new] wharf does but we are progressively working towards improving the wharf the ferries do use at the moment," Mr Bortfeld said.
"There are other community projects we have to put ahead of commercial projects."
MV Wallamba ferry service operator Ray Horsfield said he appreciated what the council had done in the past in building a new ferry terminal to alleviate congestion.
But he said the council should consider the upgrade as soon as possible.
"I would like to see it done in the future," he said.
"When tourists and other people arrive they should see a nice wharf."
Mr Bortfeld said the council recognised the wharf was a popular asset and that it would look to make upgrades after the 2014-15 financial year. He said the council was already committed to putting in shelters and signs at the public wharf.
