New central city bus hub coming 2025
These artist’s-impression images show the new bus hub and link to Vine street, with construction starting in January 2025.
While work takes place, buses will use Vine Street instead (just a few steps away). Once the site is cleared, work will begin on the new public toilets, staff facilities, ticketing office and covered seating area. A new pedestrian link will also be built between Rose and Vine streets, providing an easier connection into the city centre.
