Have your say on the future of the Mansfield Community Bus to ensure it meets the evolving needs of our community.
The Community Bus provides accessible and affordable transport for residents to get to the Mansfield town centre for shopping, appointments or to grab a coffee with friends.
Mayor Cr Steve Rabie said the bus is a vital service for many residents and community feedback will help make the service better for everyone.
“As our Shire grows, we need to make sure our services grow with it. This review is all about ensuring the community bus runs in a way that best meets the needs of our community,” said Cr Rabie.
"Whether you use the bus every week or have never used it but think you might, we want to hear your ideas. Your feedback is essential to help us shape this service for the future.”
The current service provides a home pick-up and return trip to Erril Street in Mansfield every Thursday for $6.00. Council also funds additional trips to key community events like the High Country Festival, Christmas Carols and Anzac Day.
Feedback is welcome on all aspects of the service, including the days and times of operation, the 2.5-hour stopover time in town, the drop-off location and which special events the bus should service.
Engagement is open until 28 November at https://engage.mansfield.vic.gov.au/community-bus
