Bus zone to be created

A 21 metre bus zone will be created on the southern side of Ocean View Rd, Ettalong, opposite the Centrelink building.

Bus operator Busways asked Gosford Council to provide a bus zone on the southern side of Ocean View Rd, Ettalong, to discourage motorists from parking in the bus stop.

An investigation by Council officers found that the bus stop was located adjacent to many retail shops within the Ettalong CBD area, as well as across the road from Centrelink and visitors to the area often parked their cars in the statutory bus stop.

To accommodate buses setting down passengers without difficulties, Council's Local Traffic Committee reported it was necessary to create the 21 metre bus zone.
