Transport
Our Transport Service provides a vital social link to our residents who are isolated, and/or, unable to utilise other modes of transport, and connects them with their community. The service runs Monday to Friday. Transport is provided to Senior’s Clubs, shopping trips, outings, and to medical appointments. Over the Christmas period additional shopping trips will be available. The current shopping trips are:
- Warburton which operates every Monday, picking up at locations along or near the Warburton Highway travelling to Chirnside Park Shopping Centre.
- Upwey on Tuesdays on a fortnightly basis, picking up at Hills locations such as Belgrave, Tecoma and Upwey travelling to Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre.
- Monbulk on Thursdays on a weekly basis, picking up at Monbulk and Wandin East travelling to Chirnside Park Shopping Centre.
For all our shopping trips clients are picked up and returned to their homes.
