History

edit

Galleria bus station was opened as Morley bus station in August 1972 as the first bus station in the Perth metropolitan area.[1] The current bus station was opened on 1 July 1994 by Stephen Smith, the federal member for Perth. The ceremony was also attended by Eric Charlton, the state government's Minister for Transport.[2][3]

The bus station was renamed Galleria bus station on 9 December 2024. It was renamed following the opening of the similarly named Morley railway station and bus interchange on the south-eastern edge of the suburb on Tonkin Highway and Broun Avenue.[4]

While there has never been a park and ride facility at the Galleria bus station, bus passengers would generally use an adjacent carpark at the Galleria Shopping Centre.[5] However, in 2011 the centre started chaining off this carpark, leaving passengers with no parking at one of the busiest bus stations in Perth.[6] As of 2024, the shopping centre enforces a three hour parking limit.[7]
