We seek that Wollongong Shire Council and Transport NSW table and address the following concerns pertaining to Brooks Reach Estate, Horsley NSW 2530, at their next Traffic Safety Committee meeting.
- Large buses causing disturbances, noise, traffic issues and pedestrian safety issues
- Frequency and size buses is not justified given the low passenger count and small scope of entire route (Dapto Mall and return)
- Formed bus bay on Bong Bong Road is not used
- Routes and bus stop locations need reconsideration for the privacy and peace of residents
- Future shops at Bong Bong Town Centre may reduce the need for the already under utilised bus service
We are NOT requesting the service be removed as people need it. We are requesting the service be delivered sensibly with more thought to the privacy, peace and safety of residents, especially those who live along the route.
An expanded document with potential solutions will be forwarded along with signatures collected in this petition, to show the shared views of rate payers and achieve a positive, agreeable outcome.
The same will be forwarded to Stockland developers for information, and to the local member for Parliament, the Hon. Sharon Bird MP, in the case of inaction or no response from the relevant authorities.

I am a shift worker and am constantly woken during the day by a steady stream of loud empty buses. Given the small size of the estate I believe a service along the main road of Bong Bong Road would surely be sufficient.
Bus service is a great benefit to community can we please get a Saturday service
Siltstone Avenue. There is too many cars parked on the sides and bus's have trouble getting through. There have been several occasions where the bus driver had to stop the bus and knock on the residents doors to have the cars moved. Also very dangerous as there are kids always playing outside.
I think bus stops in brooks reach Horsley, shouldnt be in the estate. Their should only be a bus stop on bong bong road it's self. So they can turn around at the large round about. The streets are two narrow and small to have buses going up and down them. Especially when people NEED to be able to park on the street as garage are two small.
Please review Brooks Reach
It's unsafe, wakes me up every morning and blocks my driveway. The whole estate is a couple of hundred meters, surely people can walk to the top.
I live on Mckelly street. The bus is noisy and unnecessary every 20 minutes from 6am. It has to push to get up the hill and makes enough noise to wake us up. The street is too narrow and it makes it dangerous.

I'm very concerned about the safety of the bus going into Mallon avenue from bong bong rd as well as the bus stop on bong bong Rd near Mallon avenue. This entrance to Mallon is steep and has very poor visibility with buses trucks and cars all crossing to the wrong side of the road.
