How to use this Guide:

This Guide is designed to make it easier to find your way around the Shoalhaven and indicates the areas and level of service of public transport in the Shoalhaven. The cooperation of the Shoalhaven Bus and Coach Association and Taxi operators is acknowledged.   Trains run 7 days a week from Bomaderry and Berry Stations. Access to Wollongong and Sydney areas usually means changing to electrified trains at Kiama. Services operate at roughly 2 hours apart from early in the morning, to late at night. Extra commuter services run during the week.   Coach services provide access north and south – see green lines on maps and green coach services box.   To find your local bus services: Find your destination on either the Northern or Southern Shoalhaven main map. Find the inset map for your destination (the dotted boxes are colour-coded and labelled, A, B etc) and click on the map. Look for the colour-coded ‘bus services’ box below the inset map. Telephone the relevant operator for details of times and stop locations for your trip. If travelling from Greater Sydney to the Shoalhaven, the Transport Infoline on 131 500 or at www.131500.com.au provides Trip Planning Support

 

Hints:

In towns and villages, services usually operate on a ‘Hail & Ride’ basis – please check route details with operators.   Services from outside Nowra will usually operate to Stewart Place Interchange. Some services will also pick-up and set down their passengers at Bomaderry Station and Stockland Nowra.   Contact the operator for details of services, lost property or concerns about your journey. Details of your trip – for example time, destination and bus number – will assist in resolving issues and locating any lost property.   Taxis provide service 7 days a week to most of the Shoalhaven. See the telephone number boxes to contact the Taxi Operators for each area.

Shoalhaven City Council working with Government and the Community The Shoalhaven Public Transport Guide implements a key Action of the Shoalhaven Integrated Transport Strategy. The Strategy was developed with a Regional Solutions Program Grant. The NSW Government and Shoalhaven City Council supported the development of the Shoalhaven Public Transport Guide and the Illawarra/Shoalhaven Transport Development Officer position.   The Illawarra/Shoalhaven Transport Development Officer produced the Shoalhaven Public Transport Guide, with Shoalhaven City Council’s Desktop Publishing and Information Technology personnel supplying key skills and resources. The support of Shoalhaven Bus and Coach and Taxi operators is gratefully acknowledged. The Nowra Community Solutions Project is also supporting these improvements. This initiative was developed in consultation with the Shoalhaven Public Transport Working Party. The Shoalhaven Public Transport Working Party membership includes Councillors, representatives of the community, government agencies representatives and transport providers.
