History

Following the closure of the Manly tram network in 1939, all Northern Beaches buses had been stabled at the increasingly overcrowded former Manly Tram Depot. To alleviate this, a new depot opened on 5 October 1952 on Pittwater Road, Brookvale. [1]

As of January 2025, it has an allocation of 217 buses. [2] In October 2021 it was included in the transfer of region 8 from State Transit to Keolis Downer Northern Beaches, which had a poor history on safety. Multiple cyclists fatality incidents occurred over the short period . [3]
