Voting Members for this Item

Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

Late 2021 Transport for NSW (TfNSW) introduced an integrated network plan (N2020) for Sydney’s South East in order to provide increased capacity on public transport and support existing and emerging travel patterns. With the introduction of this plan, 304 Services intended to provide bus services to Green Square prescient, however at that time and due to ongoing constructions along Zetland Ave, Portman St and Paul St bus services were not able to commence operation.

As constructions completed, TfNSW have requested Transdev John Holland Buses as the local bus operator, to liaise with Councils to ensure a new bus stop gazetted to provide adequate bus services to Green Square prescient.

As such, we would respectfully request Council give consideration gazetting the new Bus Zone.
