Community buses are provided and maintained by us for use by non-profit organisations or groups in the municipality such as scouts and guides, schools and church groups. Buses are made available to enable these groups to conduct their activities.

• three buses — 12 seater (driver and 11 passengers);
• one bus — 12 seater (driver and 11 passengers) sponsored by Bendigo Bank; and
• one bus — nine seater with wheelchair hoist and space for two wheelchairs.

How to book

Bookings for our community buses are managed by TransAccess which can be contacted on 9575 5386.
