30 July 2026There’s been 1933 public submissions received by the ORC on its proposal to move to a new zone-based fare system for its public transport system. Aside from the 1933 submissions, there are expected to be a few postal submissions arrive from the consultation, between 13 July and 29 July. ORC’s Transport portfolio co-lead Cr Alan Somerville thanked all the people who took time to make a submission. Allowing for these zones will enable us to move much effectively into further regional public transport,” Cr Somerville says. The proposed changes follow feedback and council direction ORC received while developing its Regional Public Transport Plan.
