In short:
Wyndham residents are set for a major public transport shake-up with hundreds of new bus trips starting in July. But which suburbs are gaining more coverage — and who’s still waiting?
Hundreds of New Bus Trips for Wyndham
The government is increasing services on Routes 170, 180, 190 and 192, with buses running later into the evening on most days. “More evening and night services on our busiest routes reflect changing travel patterns,” said Public and Active Transport Minister Gabrielle Williams, noting the rise in late-night city travel for events, hospitality and work.
These changes will improve access to major shopping destinations such as Pacific Werribee, Tarneit Central, Manor Lakes Central and Wyndham Vale Square, as well as train stations including Wyndham Vale and Tarneit.
Local Member for Werribee John Lister said, “We know how important frequent bus services are to travellers in Wyndham – these changes will make people’s trips more convenient.”
Future expansions will reach Kings Leigh Estate in Werribee South for the first time, along with increased coverage to the Wyndham Law Courts and Employment Precincts. These updates support recent road improvements in Wyndham, which aim to reduce congestion across the area.
A new Route 140 bus linking Rockbank to Tarneit will improve east-west movement between Melton and Wyndham, benefiting residents in Truganina. The nearby West Tarneit station, which includes a four-bay bus interchange, is also expected to see better connectivity.
Member for Tarneit Dylan Wight said, “We are delivering more bus services, making it easier to go shopping, get to work and school or catch the train.”
Additional new or upgraded services will be rolled out in areas such as Cairnlea, Thornhill Park, Mt Atkinson, Wollert and Beveridge. In the south-east, a new cross-Peninsula route will connect Hastings and Mornington.
The upgrades form part of a $162 million investment outlined in the 2025/26 Victorian Budget to support growing communities. Since launching Victoria’s Bus Plan in 2021, the government has redesigned or expanded over 110 local networks, delivering nearly 6,000 extra weekly services across the state.
Many of these expansions are supported by Growth Area Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) funding. Last year’s $153 million GAIC package continues to fund services now being delivered in Wyndham, Casey, Hume and other growth areas.
Luba Grigorovitch, Member for Kororoit, added, “These extra bus services will give people more options to get where they need to go and build on a bus network that makes travelling by bus easier and more convenient.”
Timetables will be released on 13 June via ptv.vic.gov.au.
