Our bus stops within Mount Druitt and NSW Bus Region 1, I have been advocating for propper bus shelters that reflect the area or simple designed bus shelters that do not promote anti-social behaviours like: graffitti, destruction of bus stop signs or shelters.
Even though we are in NSW Bus Region 1, this region includes the following LGA councils: Blacktown City Council, Penrith City Council, Hawkesbury City Council and parts of Fairfield City Council. Each Council has it's own area that approves bus shelters that are recommended by the bus company/public and approved by the NSW Government. This is based on costs and designs reflecting the area we live in.
At present. we tend to have bus stops in our area that prone to breaking glass pannels consistanly and re-occuring graffitti. What we don't have is a simpliflied designed bus shelters that reflect the area we live in like using Dharrug Tribe history messages /paintings /stories. We have bus shelters that feel like we live in a concrete jungle and no one understands the creation and merrits of it's full designs.
Bus shelters could be an eyecatching or a topic of conversations, if produced and installed in a way that is attractive within our community. Properly designed bus shelters which allows input from the locals from our community would be even better. I mean, we are the people that have to live and use these bus stops with bus shelters and the final choices should really be made with us as we look at designs.
So, to do this I will show you the 2 different types of bus shelters we have (old and new) and then other bus shelters from Penrith City Council and Hawkesbury City Council. I would like to recommend to all Stake holders that all bus stops in NSW Bus Region 1 remain with the same appearance and recognition of the history of the area and not be based on LGA areas.
You can decide yourselves, on the following bus shelters:
The two photos above are bus stops within Mount Druitt area (old and new), Blacktown City Council, Local Government Area. The left one is the type of Bus shelter that was removed from Whalan Shops quite a few years ago - by anti-social behaviour. Both bus shelters do not reflect any design that is historically related or attributed to the area. Having glass pannels - all around the bus shelter- may create further costs for repairs and damage by anti-social beahviour community members.
User friendly bus shelters should be used, which will not even make people think of destroying by any way, any bus stops and eenjoy the bus shtop shelters that can be appreciated by our community.
Here are bus shelters, within NSW Bus Region 1 that in my thought (which I am only one voice for our community), could be easily produced and installed, bringing a better uplifted look to bus stops within our area. Let's hope stake holders consider them for the next lot of bus shelters to be installed.
This (photo above) is the bus stop design and installebd by Hawkesbury City Coumcil. spotted im Windsor
The two photos above is my favourite bus stop shelter that I personally like. It has no walls, airconditioned and can protect you from rain and sun. A simple design that could easily have a short history of the area placed on the bus shelter. Thank you to Penrith City Council for imstalling them. We hope that Blacktown City Council can follow up on these bus shelters, which may also create less anti-social behaviour towards this design and installation of this bus shelter.

Dude, it's a bus shelter. Be thankful you have one, as where I live (in Northern Brisbane) we don't even have seats at most of our bus stops, and our buses are four or five times as unreliable as yours.
