We consulted with nearby landowners and stakeholders through the concept design stages.

Feedback from Metro Tasmania and the Kingborough Council was also considered.

The design has been completed, with construction underway.

This map shows the locations of the bus stops that will be improved under the project.

The Tasmanian Government has committed $10 million over the next four years to provide all-access, all-weather bus stops at priority locations across the state. Funding for the project was delivered via a grant-style program.

The project is part of the Kingston Congestion Package, a Kingston-specific initiative of the Hobart City Deal.

Will there be impacts to the bus stop locations or timetables during construction?

If construction works impact or cause the closure of a bus stop location, information will be provided to the community about restrictions to the bus stop and alternative bus stops available to users.

How far has the project progressed?

Stage 1 of the project has been completed, while stage 2 of the project is due to begin in early 2025. Construction for the first 17 bus stops began in March 2024 and was completed in September 2024.

Will there be noise impacts when construction begins?

This project will follow the Tasmanian State Road Traffic Noise Management Guidelines (2015). The work will involve the use of machinery which generates some noise. We will make every effort to minimise noise by arranging the work in stages at different locations and turning off machinery and vehicles when not in use.

Will the project require land acquisition?

There is no land acquisition required for this project.

Will there be any impacts to pedestrians or road users during construction?

We will be working from Monday to Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. There will be minimal impact to pedestrians and road users during this time. Traffic management and reduced speed limit signs may be in place during construction to ensure the safety of workers and road users.
