Bus Stop Upgrade Program

Moreton Bay Regional Council and TransLink are funding and delivering important upgrades to bus stop infrastructure.

The upgrades are being carried out in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cwlth) to improve the safety and comfort of passengers as well as the efficiency of bus services.

Council is committed to working with the community to minimise any disruption to residents and public transport patrons while these important upgrades are completed. Residents will be advised in advance of any works occurring near their property.

What upgrades are taking place?
