Talavera Road Bus Layover
Project overview
The Australian and NSW Governments are investing $120 million for the Macquarie Park Precinct and Bus Interchange project to improve transport in Macquarie Park and help create a vibrant ‘heart’ for the precinct. This includes construction of a proposed bus layover on Talavera Road.
Project information
Background
We propose to build a bus layover on Talavera Road near the corner with Culloden Road, Macquarie Park.
The proposed bus layover will provide facilities for drivers, such as a meal room and toilet where drivers will have recovery time and park (up to 20) buses between services.
The proposed layover on Talavera Road near the corner with Culloden Road will mean that drivers can take their designated breaks close to their last stop and not have to travel back to the depot. This will help increase the efficiency of the bus network.
Benefits
Moving the bus layover and parking from Herring Road to Talavera Road will improve bus reliability and amenity at the precinct and interchange on Herring Road.
This will allow for a significant public domain space on Herring Road, with mature trees, seating, public art and a diverse range of civic spaces.
