Council was fortunate in obtaining funding from Lotterywest for the purchase of a 21 seater bus.  The bus is available for hire to residents of the shire.  Council does not object to the hire of the community bus to people from outside the Shire of Wickepin.  If, however, the bus is hired by somebody who is not a resident of Wickepin and the bus is subsequently required by a local, the non-local will be advised that the bus is no longer available to them.  At least one weeks notice must be given to the non-local of the cancellation of the hire to enable them to make other arrangements.

The rate of hire for the bus is set at :

60 cents per kilometer 0 - 100km
40 cents per kilometer 101km - onwards

for 2005/06 and fuel costs will be reimbursed on proof of receipts.

A minimum of an HR class license is required.

Smoking is NOT permitted on the bus.

For bookings and further enquiries contact the Shire on 9888 1005.
