Huon, South Arm, and Lyell Highway Bus Stop Accessibility Upgrade
This project will improve the accessibility of busy bus stops along three highways.
About the project
The Bus Stop Upgrade Program will improve access to bus travel for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those with different transport needs.
We are developing designs for 43 bus stop upgrades across priority locations on the Huon Highway, South Arm Road, and Lyell Highway, including all-weather shelters and design features that offer better accessibility.
The bus stop sites were chosen for upgrades based on community feedback and their locations in busy areas.
Timing
- Lyell Highway, New Norfolk - starting 18 August 2025 (for approximately 4 weeks): We will be upgrading the bus stops outside and opposite Tynwald Park.
- South Arm Road, Lauderdale - starting 18 August 2025 (for approximately 3 weeks): We will be upgrading the bus stop opposite Ringwood Road.
- South Arm Road, Lauderdale – starting 18 September 2025 (for approximately 3 weeks): We will be upgrading the bus outside the Foreshore Hotel.
We will be working Monday to Friday, from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, at each location.

Funding
In 2021 the Tasmanian Government committed up to $10 million for the Bus Stop Upgrade Program to provide all-access, all-weather bus stops at priority locations. This commitment recognises the importance of bus stop upgrades to improve access to public transport for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those with diverse transport needs.
