Busselton Margaret River Airport
The City of Busselton says its airport operates 7 days a week, with 36 closed charter FIFO flights and six regular public transport services a week to Melbourne and Sydney, and that over 192,000 passengers moved through it in 2024/25. For a wedding party flying in from the east or a corporate group heading to a South West retreat, one vehicle at the terminal saves a string of separate rides.
From Perth and along the bay
Busselton sits approximately 220 km south-west of Perth (Public Transport Authority), and the town bus service runs three routes Monday to Saturday plus fourteen school routes. The state's SW1 coach line from East Perth stops in Busselton next to Albert Street Square. A charter suits the trips a timetable leaves out, such as a group from Perth straight to a venue in Yallingup or Dunsborough.
Weddings and events in Busselton
The City's Undalup Room, at 2 Southern Drive, overlooks the Vasse River and seats about 140 people theatre style. A ceremony in a park, reserve or on a beach the City manages needs a public open space booking. If an event closes or partly closes a road, the City's event application asks for a Traffic Management Plan at least 4 weeks ahead. Areas designated for buses or taxis are on the parking rules list of places where parking or stopping is banned, so ask the operator where the coach will wait.
