The new Tarneit Station bus interchange in the southern car park will improve accessibility – better connecting the community to local schools, shops and employment, and providing a comfortable shelter for commuters year-round.
As part of the project, commuters will benefit from new accessible parking as well as more bicycle parking, lighting and CCTV for added security. The additional bicycle facilities will give people the option to leave the car at home, making it more convenient to cycle to the station.
The new bus interchange, funded through the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution fund, complements the 500 new and upgraded car parks at Tarneit Station being delivered as part of the Car Parks for Commuters Program.
A new on-demand FlexiRide bus service is also due to start later this year in Tarneit North, further boosting transport options in the area. The service has no fixed route and enables passengers to book a seat on the bus via an app or the phone to get to key destinations including Tarneit Station and Tarneit Central Shopping Centre.
