Rose Street bus hub upgrade

The next phase of the Rose Street bus station upgrade is happening!

From early January bus services will be temporarily relocated to Vine Street for the duration of construction works. As soon as we have a date, we’ll let you know.

The existing bus hub buildings will be demolished and replaced with new public toilets, staff facilities, ticketing office and covered seating area. A new pedestrian link between Rose and Vine Street will provide a safer connection into the city centre.

The new bus hub will be fantastic for our passengers and for Whangārei. We can’t wait to see it completed! Thanks to all our passengers for your patience while the works are ongoing.

The upgrade is funded by Waka Kotahi, with the works carried out by Whangārei District Council, working with Northland Regional Council. You can find more info at WDC website.
