History

The original Morley bus station opened in August 1972 as the first bus station in the Perth metropolitan area.

The current Morley 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.[1] [2]

While there has never been a Park and ride facility at the Morley bus station, bus passengers would generally use an adjacent carpark at the Galleria Shopping Centre.[3] However,, the Galleria Shopping Centre has been chaining off this carpark, leaving passengers with no parking at one of the busiest bus stations in Perth.[4]
