Council is reviewing the Community Bus model of service.
Council will be continuing to provide Wollondilly based community groups, reimbursement up to the increased value of $500 (inclusive of GST) per day to cover the cost of bus hire from an external provider during the review process.
Council is also gathering expression of interests from individuals who are interested in volunteering to drive a community bus in the future.

Council is reviewing its current community bus model of service. We are looking to hear from people with a C Class or LR Licence (or above) who would be interested in volunteering as a Community Bus Driver in the future.
As an interim measure, while Council is undertaking the review of its Community Bus Model of Service, Wollondilly based community groups can request a reimbursement up to the increased value of $500 (inclusive of GST) per day to cover the cost of bus hire.
Council will reimburse community groups that use an identified not for profit community transport provider. Suggestions of suitable providers are listed on the downloadable form. It is the community group’s responsibility to contact, hire and pay for the bus hire following which a request for reimbursement may be submitted.
Council would like to hear from you if you require any support in accessing this reimbursement scheme.
The completed form should be submitted after each trip for reimbursement. Council will only be able to process the reimbursement after the submission of a completed form, which must include a paid tax invoice. This invoice must include the hiring business name and ABN of the provider. Any costs over $500 will need to be absorbed by the community group and will not covered by Councils Community Bus Hire Reimbursement Scheme.
If your community group requires assistance with deposits, booking fees or arranging payments please contact Council’s Community Project Team on (02) 4677 1100.
Completed forms along with all supporting attachments to be emailed to council@wollondilly.nsw.gov.au
For more information or to check eligibility please contact Council’s Community Projects Team (02) 4677 1100 or council@wollondilly.nsw.gov.au.
