Public transport and cycling

The City of Stirling provides bus shelters under a contract with the PTA. The following guidelines are applied when considering whether a bus shelter should be provided:

• The average weekday boarding patronage is more than 15 people
• Consultation with the PTA to ensure that the provision of a bus shelter does not conflict with any operational plans and will qualify for a subsidy under their Bus Shelter Subsidy Scheme
• Suitability of the site in terms of available space, visibility for vehicles exiting adjacent roads or driveways          
• Consultation with adjacent property owners/tenants where appropriate, to ensure that a bus shelter will not disproportionally impact the amenity of the property.

The location and provision of bus stops is the sole responsibility of the Public Transport Authority (PTA). Please note that not all requests for shelters are successful, and some locations may be unsuitable. The PTA and the City of Stirling have limited budgets each financial year, so applications will be assessed on individual merit and if accepted may be placed on a waiting list.

To lodge a request, please use the customer enquiry and feedback form.

There are limited circumstances in which a bus stop or an associated shelter will be considered for removal or relocation, which have been detailed below:

• The PTA creates, relocates or removes a bus stop for operational purposes. Please note that the City has little influence in these instances
• The relocation of a bus stop is necessary as a result of a Development Application, where the provision of a crossover would conflict with an existing bus stop. In these instances, the City would normally recommend to the PTA that the bus stop is relocated to the verge adjacent to the existing property location.
