2591 - INCREASE OF SCHOOL ROUTES THROUGH FLETCHER

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Roads

Are there plans to increase school routes through the new subdivisions in Fletcher, considering Callaghan College, Wallsend students have restricted public transport options due to buses not running through new subdivisions?

 

Answer -

(i) am advised:

The service provider in the Fletcher area, Hunter Valley Buses, is currently reviewing services in light of the growth being experienced in the area.

Hunter Valley Buses intends to make submissions to Transport for NSW (TfNSW) for service changes that will provide increased capacity and extended routes to student passengers in the new subdivisions of Fletcher. These changes are expected to provide a benefit to a range of schools, including Callaghan College, Wallsend.

When TfNSW receives these submissions it will assess the merits of the proposal and make a decision about the implementation of changes.
