Learn to Ride - is such a fun filled and popular place on weekends and school holidays. Children and parents alike are loving this, not only fun, but educational facility in their community. With working traffic lights, road signs and safety being a first priority makes this a great asset to the area. If you haven't been to the Learn to Ride facility you really are missing out.

Bus2Go - The Shoalhaven Transport Register is a great initiative for community groups in the area, community groups are encouraged to sign up to the project which provides transport at affordable prices. Bay and Basin Bendigo Bank director Veronica Husted said to hire one of the buses you need to be a member of the register and borrowers must be part of a not-for-profit organisation. “We saw a need for better transport services in the Bay and Basin area, but this project covers the whole of the Shoalhaven,” she said. “It means sporting and community groups can loan the buses for a lot less than other services.

There are 13 buses on board at the moment, with membership costing $110 per year. The cost of buses ranged from $45 to $95 per day depending on the size of the vehicle. This helps with groups as they can take one busload of people to events instead of driving in separate cars and it is an affordable option. This has made such a difference for community groups across the Shoalhaven.

The Shoalhaven Transport Register is a joint project between Shoalhaven City Council, Transport NSW, Sanctuary Point & Districts Branch of Bendigo Bank, The Smith Family Partnership Brokers and Relationships Australia.
