City west bus layover


Project description

A new bus layover has been constructed in Turner to support the City's growing public transport network, providing capacity for 25 buses at any time. This new facility will reduce the need for buses to sit within the City interchange and will also improve bus connectivity between the layover and interchange.

The layover provides bus parking for both short and long duration layovers, with a full meal room and toilet facilities for drivers.

Other key features include:

  • a through lane on Kingsley Street at its intersection with Barry Drive to provide direct access to the layover for buses
  • improved stormwater outcomes, reducing the impacts and frequency of flooding
  • planting of approximately 25 trees and additional landscaping
  • widening the existing concrete path along Barry Drive and the associated crossing to accommodate the volume of people walking and cycling into the City and ANU.
