Brisbane bus depots

Brisbane City Council’s bus depots ensure efficient operation of Council’s fleet. The bus depots provide on-site maintenance, cleaning and refuelling, scheduling and rostering and driver amenities. There are seven bus depots strategically spread across the city in:

• Virginia
• Eagle Farm
• Sherwood
• Willawong
• Toowong
• Carina
• Upper Mt Gravatt.

Five Green Star ratings

The Sherwood and Eagle Farm bus depots were awarded five Green Star ratings for their environmentally-friendly sustainable design. The green initiatives include:

• solar panels and passive solar design
• mixed mode air-conditioning
• rain water storage tanks
• bio-retention basin, and
• a design that enhances safe depot operations.

Willawong bus depot is built on a former waste disposal site. Council incorporated a number of environmental practices into the facility. These include:

• landscape and design
• stormwater harvesting
• reducing the 'heat island' effect, and
