Orbiter review - Ilam area

In early September, Council accepted the recommendation to make Waimairi Rd, the current route, permanent.

Public consultation showed a strong preference to continue with the current route. The Orbiter, referred to by some as the “shoppers’ bus”, is well used to access Bush Inn, Church Corner, and adjacent businesses.

Will there be any changes?

The present service will continue.

Christchurch City Council will be looking to improve the bus stops adjacent to Homestead Lane and Athol Tce. This will complement the pedestrian zone along Homestead Lane and cater for the residents at the Parkstone Retirement Village.
