History

Following the closure of the Manly tram network in 1939, all Northern Beaches buses had been stabled at the increasingly overcrowded former Manly Tram Depot. To alleviate this, a new depot opened on 5 October 1952 on Pittwater Road, Brookvale.[1]

As of September 2023, it has an allocation of 222 buses.[2] In October 2021 it was included in the transfer of region 8 from State Transit to Keolis Downer Northern Beaches.[3]
