Rose Street bus hub upgrade – Stage 2
The next phase of the Rose Street bus station upgrade is on its way!
Stage 1 was completed in July 2022, with new bus shelters, safer pedestrian access and new bus stops.
Stage 2 is to demolish the existing bus hub buildings and replace them with new public toilets, staff facilities, ticketing office and covered seating area. A new pedestrian link between Rose and Vine Streets will provide a safer connection into the city centre. The new bus hub facilities will improve user experience and encourage new users onto public transport.
The upgrade is funded by Waka Kotahi, with the works carried out by Whangārei District Council, working with Northland Regional Council. You can find more info at WDC website.
