Main Bus Stop

Making Rottnest Island’s main bus and coach hub safer for all road users.

Overview

Rottnest Island’s main bus stop is undergoing a major transformation to improve accessibility, road safety and to make is easier for visitors to explore the island.

Located at the island’s busiest intersection (Kitson Street, Digby Drive and Brand Way) the precinct has been identified as an area for road safety improvement as part of a Rottnest Island Management Plan initiative.

The redevelopment will include a new bus access road, new shelters, additional seating and decking, a new accessible ramp entrance for the Catholic church and directional signage.

Key benefits

Construction of an architecturally designed bus shelter
Improved bus turnaround areas and reconfigured traffic flows
Improved pathways linking the Catholic church, settlement, and key visitor areas

Development of a safer, well-lit, and secure transport hub with clear surveillance

Key dates

Works will start in early March 2026 and are expected to be completed by late 2026. The project will be staged so that all bus services can continue to operate during construction.
