“There has been significant progress, we now have boom gates on both the northern and southern sides and have gate houses for the entrance and exit and various high density areas have already been allocated places,” said town clerk Tendai Mahachi in an earlier interview with this paper.
The holding bay is expected to hold kombis plying the western suburbs routes and parts of the north-western suburbs.
