Great news for residents in Gray Road and Morry Street, with the overnight announcement from Council that the new CityGlider bus service won’t be running past their homes.
Council’s bought the house on the corner of Hoogley and Orleigh, making room for a bus turnaround after collecting passengers from the Ferry. The other option was to remove those amazing figs trees….
CityGlider will be a high frequency inner city bus loop linking West End through the CBD to Newstead. Having it run past your home will be no fun.
So spending $1.6m on a 620m2 piece of land is probably a good political investment. Was the property worth that? According to public records the current owners paid $1.45m two years ago so it sounds about right. Certainly there’s few sales of riverfront property under $2m in areas like this any more.

Hi there,
Your comprehension of the neighborhood is alarming. A savvy business person and decent human would wonder why you would promote and celebrate the underhanded efforts of a group of residents shunting their problems to the next group of residents, behind that group’s backs. Wouldn’t a complete review of the situation have been better based on need of transport? The buses leave empty. The CityCat is in the wrong place. These are all LMR streets as it stands, no?
The owners of the premier street, Orleigh Street, will remember your partisan performance, and the laws of the universe will too.
Hold tight. x
