Port Pirie Council Community Bus – for Hire

Council owns a Community Bus which has regular bookings with Community Clubs, Health Services and other community organisations to support social activities and programs which benefit transport disadvantaged and older people residing in the Port Pirie Regional Community.

The Bus is also available for hire by community groups and organisations to use responsibly on various days and times including Weekends and Evenings when not utilized for regular bookings.

The Community Bus operates under a “user pays” system whereby each group hiring the 12-seater automatic vehicle nominates a designated driver who takes responsibility for the vehicle. The group hiring the Community Bus will be invoiced for kilometers travelled and a bond is required when making application to hire to cover costs associated if any extra cleaning is required or if there is damage to the vehicle.

Bookings can be made here through SpacetoCo - Hire Community-Bus

Enquiries can be made by contacting staff at the Crystal Brook Office – Bowman Street, Crystal Brook phone: 8636 2150.
