Bus Shelter Program
Last Updated:19 August 2025
Background
The Town’s bus shelter program allows for the installation of two to three bus shelters for each financial year. This is achieved through a programme administered by the Public Transport Authority (PTA), which provides the subsidy of up to 50 per cent for the shelters.
The Town has the responsibility to identify bus stops, which are eligible for upgrade and make recommendations to PTA, under the Bus Shelter Subsidy Programme (BSSP). PTA manage the scheduling and construction phase for these bus stop replacements.
Project Updates
In the 2024/25 financial year, three bus stops qualified for upgrade under the program. The bus stop locations were:
- Floreat Avenue, stop number 17689 - (after Oceanic Drive) - Replacement Shelter.
- Cambridge Street, stop number 12737 - (before Marlow Street) – New Shelter.
- Selby Street, stop number 11519 – (after Hay Street) – New Shelter.
Current Status
The new bus shelters for the 2024/25 sites are currently being manufactured by a Perth based company and are scheduled for installation by the end of September 2025 (see photo above for an example of the style of shelter). The Town is investigating the replacement or addition of a shelter at the following bus stops for the 2025/2026 financial year:
- Hale Road, Stop Number 10307 - (before Brompton Rd)
- Cambridge Street, Stop Number 12766 - (after Birkdale St)
- Harborne Street, stop number 17469 - (before Ruislip St)
