The City of Karratha is inviting the community to help shape the future of local public transport and bus stop infrastructure.
The City of Karratha has launched its Bus Stop and Public Transport Review, assessing how people move around Karratha, Dampier, Wickham, Roebourne and Point Samson.
The review will examine existing bus stops and services, identify priority locations for upgrades, and explore opportunities to improve infrastructure.
Community members can provide feedback via an interactive online map, highlighting bus stops that need improvement and sharing ideas for upgrades.
City of Karratha Mayor Daniel Scott said community feedback will play a critical role in identifying where improvements are needed most.
“We know public transport looks different in regional communities, so it’s important we hear directly from residents about what’s working well and where the gaps are,” Mayor Scott said.
Mayor Scott said the project will also help strengthen the City’s ability to advocate for improved services.
“While public transport services are delivered by the State, the City plays an important role in supporting infrastructure and advocating for better outcomes,” Mayor Scott said.
“By understanding how our community uses public transport, we can make a stronger case for improvements that support accessibility, liveability and connectivity across our region.
“Your feedback will help guide future planning and ensure our transport network better meets the needs of residents now and into the future.”
Consultation is open until 24 April and will inform the Draft Public Transport Improvement Plan to be presented to Council later this year.
