Cape Otway Bus Service Cape Otway Bus Service Idealily the Cape Otway National Park in conjunction with Parks Victoria and the Cape Otway Lighthouse will run services between the Lighthouse, Otway Lighthouse Road, The Great Ocean Road and Maits Rest Visitors Area.

The Otway Bus Service will link up with the V/line service.

The Otway Bus Service will also connect with the Apollo Bay Shuttle Service at the Maits Rest Area.

The V/Line Service and Cape Otway On Demand Service As the aim of this service was to link Apollo Bay, The Great Ocean Road, Attractions and The Great Ocean Walk, an on demand service has been created. This on demand service is used only when a person using the Great Ocean Walk requires goods to be delivered or they need to be picked up. The four on demand bus stops are the major points of interests for walkers and campsites.

This service can be organised through the Information Centre, Lighthouse or with the driver via mobile phone prior to the commencement of the walk or after.

Information Center

Considerations

Apollo Bay Local Bus Service

People are able to walk a ‘reasonable’ distance if the walk is deemed ‘pleasant’. However, if the walk is not pleasant people will walk a maximum of 200m. Therefore, safety, security, lighting, gradient and distance, time of the walk is from bus stops to destinations need to be considered when designing the Apollo Bay town shuttle bus.

The Great Ocean Walk Those who partake in the Great Ocean Walk will leave their car at the car park and catch the shuttle bus to the information centre or fishing co-op. They leave their belongings on the bus and make arrangements with the shuttle company to deliver their goods at the campsite.

However if they wish to commence their walk from an alternative location, they arrange with the driver to transport them their. Refer to next page for walking tracks.

The Car Park

The Service

On average 98% of visitors to Apollo Bay drive in private vehicles. While the other small percentage is made up of public transport or hired vehicles.

Therefore, by encouraging vehicles to park their cars in an alternative location and not allowing tourists to drive in and around the area means there will be less cars on the road. This will greatly reduce a number of factors. These factors include:

The Apollo Bay - Otway National Park Shuttle and Car Park can increase local economy and decrease environmental impact.

- Road Accidents.

- Local Congestion.

- Road Infrastructure Issues.

Therefore, working in conjunction with the Apollo Bay shuttle service, V/Line service and the Cape Otway shuttle service a Apollo Bay car park will be built.

As a result of the carpark is traffic is reduced away from the main street and the town, and surrounding area. The idea was to encourage people to walk and not drive around the town or use the shuttle bus service as a means of transport.

The Car Park - When tourists in private or hired vehicle arrive to Apollo Bay, they are required to park in the Apollo Bay Town Car Park. This car park is a secured carpark which stores cars for the duration of the stay.

The idea to reduce cars on the road is for financial, environmental and safety reasons. Financially, more jobs are created from this project. Environmentally, less cars are on the road impacting infrastructure issues, wildlife and emissions. International and some domestic day trippers may also feel the conditions of these roads too difficult to drive meaning leaving their car in a safe lock up and being driven around is more appealing.

The shuttle bus helps to transport those who leave their car behind around the area.
