Talavera Road Bus Layover

 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.

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. 

After the end of the REF display period (Thursday 8 September 2022), a submissions report will be created. The submissions report summaries comments and questions received, and our responses.

We will notify the community when the submissions report will be available online.

We have prepared a REF (Review of Environmental Factors) which examines the potential social and environmental impacts of the proposed bus interchange and bus layover improvements.

The REF process allows the project team to identify ways in which these potential impacts can be minimised and managed in the community's best interests.

The REF display is an opportunity for the community to be informed about the environmental assessments and share your knowledge and feedback.

The bus interchange and layover REF is on public exhibition and submissions are open until 5pm Thursday 8 September. You can read the REF document and the Community Update in the Project Documents list below.
