Whangaparāoa Bus Station

Whangaparāoa is growing, and better public transport connections are needed to support the community.

We’re planning a new bus station at the O Mahurangi - Penlink/Whangaparāoa Road intersection. We propose to extend the NX2 rapid bus service to the station, giving you:

• Faster, more reliable travel – up to 20 minutes quicker to the City
• Better connections to Red Beach, Albany and the City Centre
• A cleaner, safer way to travel – fewer emissions than cars

Our Whangaparāoa Public Transport Study proposes a future public transport network for when O Mahurangi - Penlink opens on the peninsula. The proposed network balances frequency, coverage, resilience, and cost. It leverages the investment that has been made in O Mahurangi - Penlink, while recognising the community’s desire to retain a ferry service.

To deliver this future network, we need to build a new bus station. Whangaparāoa Bus Station (WBS) will be a key part of the network, providing a safe and convenient place for people to transfer between services to reach more destinations.

In 2025, we engaged on the concept design for Whangaparāoa Bus Station — view the report here. We’ve used this feedback to update the design. In 2026, we shared updated designs to ask for the community’s feedback before consents were lodged.

The station will be served by local buses on the peninsula, as well as frequent buses to the North Shore and city centre via State Highway 19 (O Mahurangi - Penlink) when it opens. Please be aware that funding has not yet been confirmed.

We want designs that are fit for purpose for the community, reflecting your needs and concerns for future planning along the route.
