Construction is officially underway on Launceston’s new regional bus transit centre, set to provide improved comfort and connectivity for passengers across northern Tasmania.
Located at 25 St John Street, the purpose-built facility is being delivered by local company Anstie Constructions.

The centre is designed to enhance the travel experience with modern indoor seating, accessible amenities, toilets, and a dedicated ticketing and luggage check-in desk.
“Improving the traveller experience, particularly through Tasmania’s colder winter, is vital to ensuring passengers can get from A to B comfortably,” Liberal member for Bass Michael Ferguson says.
“Passengers will soon be able to wait for their buses in a warm, safe, and weatherproof environment.
“It is pleasing to see this project progressing after the Tasmanian Government stepped in to secure a long-term solution for public transport in Launceston following the disappointing closure of the privately-owned Cornwall Square Transit centre.
“Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future we’re prioritising key infrastructure projects so we can keep Tasmania the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
Once completed in mid-2025, the new regional transit centre will replace the current temporary bus stop on the corner of Charles and William Streets.
This new transit centre will become the new departure point for services between Launceston and Devonport, Hobart, Mole Creek, and the state’s East Coast.
