Location and transport

Announcement: August 2020

Hunter Valley Buses is pleased to announce we have been successful in securing additional funding to extend services within the Chisholm area.  From Monday 24th August 2020 school services and route 189 will commence servicing further into Waterford County and Harvest Estates.  This has required the rescheduling of services through the suburbs of Chisholm and some through Thornton, routes have been straightened and this may change where students are required to board and/or alight our services as well as some time changes.
