It is proposed that the Spring Gully bus route will be via La Trobe University, Strathdale Plaza, over to McIvor Highway, down Pall Mall and finally up Mitchell Street to the station.  

An alternative would be to change buses at La Trobe for a more direct route to the station. 

Changing buses will be a significant inconvenience to the elderly, people with a disability, parents with prams and those carrying shopping.  

There won’t be any bus service for the residents along Spring Gully Road.  

With the new plan, the residents of Spring Gully will have to contend with not only infrequent buses, but now a significantly longer travel time to the CBD and station.  

Those along Spring Gully Road won’t have a service. 

If you are concerned about this, you are urged to raise your concerns with the PTV, the council and your local member. The plan falls well short of being a better bus network for all of Bendigo.
