Route 989 extension

Milldale is growing rapidly, and we want to make sure that public transport access grows with the community.

Route 989 currently connects Milldale with Hibiscus Coast Station. It runs every 30 minutes from 6am to 7:30pm, seven days a week.

The proposed extension would improve access to more places in your community, including Milldale Town Centre, Highgate Business Park and Silverdale Mall.

Help us shape route 989

We are proposing two options for the route extension:

Option A - Bonair Crescent

This route will use the south side of Bonair Crescent to connect Milldale to Silverdale. The route will require new bus stops and minor roadworks at the Bonair Crescent and Croix Greens intersection. These works are essential for bus access and would likely take at least 12 months to complete.

Option B – Wainui Road

This route will use Wainui Road to connect to Silverdale. The route will require the construction of new bus stops and pedestrian crossings. This option will likely take up to 12 months to complete.
