New Fraser Coast bus stop signs to help passengers

Published on 11 December 2025

Bus passengers across the Fraser Coast will start to see new poles and signs going up at local bus stops over the coming months.

Fraser Coast Regional Council Roads and Transport spokesperson Cr Denis Chapman said the changes were about making it easier for people to find their stop and understand where they are along the route.

“Public transport works best when it’s simple and clear,” Cr Chapman said.

“These new bus stop signs will be easier to see, easier to read and easier to match with the information on the Translink website and app.

“For regular bus users, it means more consistent information at every stop. For visitors and people who don’t catch the bus often, it should be easier to know where to get on and off.”

The upgrades include:

• replacing old poles with new, easy-to-see poles
• new signs that clearly show the updated bus stop name
• a new case for timetable or bus route information.

Bus stop names on the signs are also being updated. Instead of only using the road name, many stops will now use nearby cross streets or well-known places, such as a shopping centre, school or park.

“This naming system is already used in many parts of Queensland and is designed to avoid bus stops having the same name at multiple locations along the same road. This will also help people match what they see at the bus stop with what they see on Translink’s website and app,” Cr Chapman said.

“People may notice a change to the name on the sign at their stop, but their bus stop timetable or bus route is not being altered as part of this project.”

The work is being delivered by Council and is funded by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, through its Bus Stop Signage Improvements - Regional Refresh Program.

Works have started and are expected to be finished by the end of April 2026. Work will be done in stages across the region, and any short-term impacts at individual stops will be kept to a minimum.

Council encourages passengers to keep using their usual stops and to check the Translink website or Translink app for the latest service, stop and timetable information.
