Bus Shelter Replacement Program
Last Updated:13/06/2025
The Town’s bus shelter replacement programme 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 2023/24 financial year, three bus stops qualified for upgrade under the programme. The bus stop locations were:
- Cambridge Street, stop numbers 12775 - (St John of God Hospital)
- Cambridge Street, stop number 12771 - (after Holland Street)
- Lissadell Street, stop number 17445 - (before Cambridge Street)
The Town also proposed to remove the bus shelter at stop number 19383, located on Templetonia Crescent in City Beach. PTA statistics showed that the boardings at this stop were only four per day. This shelter did not meet the replacement threshold of 15 or more boardings per day under the PTA Bus shelter replacement programme and is at the end of its service life.
Current Status
Works to replace the three eligible bus shelters and remove the shelter on Templetonia Cresent were completed last financial year.
The Town is progressing the replacement or installation of a new shelter at the following bus stop in the 2024/2025 financial year:
- 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
Detailed design work for these sites has been finalised, and construction works to upgrade the concrete hardstands is scheduled to commence in June 2025.
The new bus shelters for these sites are currently being manufactured by a Perth based company and are scheduled for installation by the end of July 2025 (see photo above for an example of the style of shelter).
In addition, preliminary work has commenced to identify three suitable locations for the 2025/2026 Bus Shelter Replacement Program.
