Main Street Bus Hub - Closure (From 5 Jan 2026)

FROM 5 January 2026 -
Bus services are temporarily relocating from the Main Street Bus Terminal to Te Marae o Hine – The Square from Monday 5 January.

The relocation will remain in place for about four weeks as Fulton Hogan repairs the road under the terminal canopy or roof.

Main Street will remain open to vehicles in both directions.

Parking and footpaths on Main Street will not be affected, though there will be no parking available in The Square during construction to make room for the temporary bus platforms.

All nearby businesses will continue to operate.

Three temporary platform areas will be set up near the existing bus shelters in The Square.
