Bus Shelter Program
- Project schedule2025-2026 - Ongoing
Last Updated: 28 January 2026
Background
The Town’s bus shelter Program facilitates the installation of two to three new bus shelters each financial year. This initiative is supported by the Public Transport Authority (PTA) through the Bus Shelter Subsidy Program (BSSP), which provides a subsidy of up to 50% of the total cost for each shelter.
Under the BSSP, the Town is responsible for identifying eligible bus stops for upgrade and submitting recommendations to the PTA. Once approved, the PTA oversees the scheduling and construction of the new shelters.
Project Updates
New bus shelters with seating have been installed at Floreat Avenue and Cambridge Street and are being well utilised by the public.
The installation of the bus stop on Selby Street has progressed following earlier delays caused by the discovery of power infrastructure within the site. With Western Power’s advice now received, the concrete path and hardstand have just been completed to current accessibility standards, and the new shelter is scheduled for installation in the coming week.

Community engagement activities are scheduled to begin as the next step in the process.
