Rockingham bus station was a Transperth bus station located next to Rockingham City Shopping Centre, 47 kilometres (29 mi) south of Perth, Western Australia.
The original Rockingham bus station opened in November 1974.[1]
A new station was opened on 8 May 1981 by the minister for transport, Cyril Rushton.[2][3] This enabled Rockingham to receive more bus services to Perth and Fremantle, as well as new and increased suburban feeder routes through Rockingham.[4]
It closed on 7 October 2007, being replaced by bus facilities at Rockingham railway station.[5][6] It was demolished in 2008.
