Bendigo Airport and group arrivals
Groups flying into Bendigo need to arrange their own road transport, because the City of Greater Bendigo says no public transport runs to or from Bendigo Airport. A conference party, a wedding group or a sports team landing together can share one charter vehicle into the city centre, Strathfieldsaye or Kangaroo Flat. Give the flight time in your request so the Bendigo operator can plan the pickup.
Drop-offs in central Bendigo
The council's parking road rules page lets a bus or a vehicle seating 10 to 12 adults including the driver stop in a loading zone while setting down or collecting passengers carried for hire or reward. Where the sign shows no time limit, 30 minutes applies. For theatre nights on View Street, the council's access guide for its performing arts venue says buses drop visitors outside the front of the building or park at the nearby Queen Elizabeth Oval. Let the operator know the show finish time so the bus is back on View Street when your group comes out.
