Why Choose Quinces in Chadstone?
Quinces has been moving groups around Melbourne's south-east since 1944, and Chadstone is one of the closest suburbs to the Oakleigh depot at 76 Atkinson Street. By road the depot is about 2 to 3 km from Batesford Reserve and under 3 km from the Holmesglen campus at the corner of Batesford and Warrigal Roads, so the run to a Chadstone pickup is short.
Quinces is part of Australian Transit Group. It is an accredited bus operator and a BusVic member, with ISO 9001 quality and ISO 45001 safety certification audited each year. Drivers are police cleared and hold a Working with Children Check, and every vehicle is on the Safe Transport Victoria Public Register.
Quinces runs Melbourne bus charter and coach hire services across Melbourne's south-east, dispatched from the Oakleigh depot.
Chadstone, street by street
Chadstone VIC 3148 is in Melbourne's south-east. Most people know the name from the shopping centre, but the suburb also has a TAFE campus, a community hub and several council reserves, and each asks something different of a coach.
Warrigal Road marks the western edge of the Chadstone postcode, and the Holmesglen campus sits on its corner with Batesford Road. Chadstone Shopping Centre at 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone is the other fixed point for group bookings.
The residential side runs on Batesford Road, Burton Street and Adrian Street. Batesford Road holds the Batesford Community Hub and Batesford Reserve at number 94, which the council describes as having a sports oval, cricket nets, a basketball stadium and a playground. Jordan Reserve on Burton Street has a pavilion, an oval and practice cricket nets. Adrian Street Reserve at number 19 has a playspace with swings, a tunnel slide and a climbing net, which suits a family or playgroup stop.
A school group leaving a campus, a club squad meeting at a pavilion and a visiting group at the shopping centre are all within a few minutes of the depot.

Charter services
Quinces runs the following charter services for Chadstone groups.
Chadstone landmarks and pickup points
These are Chadstone places that work well as a staging point for a charter. The main question on the day is where the coach can stand without blocking anyone.
- Holmesglen Institute Chadstone campus, at the corner of Batesford and Warrigal Roads, beside Holmesglen station
- Chadstone Shopping Centre, 1341 Dandenong Road
- Batesford Community Hub and Batesford Reserve at 94 Batesford Road
- Jordan Reserve on Burton Street
- Adrian Street Reserve at 19 Adrian Street
- Holmesglen railway station on the Glen Waverley line, beside the campus
If your pickup is not on the list, send the address with your quote request and the office will confirm a staging point before the date. That matters most for events with several arrivals, where guests need to find the right coach quickly.
Getting a coach in and out of Chadstone
Holmesglen's website gives directions from the Monash Freeway as the Warrigal Road exit, with the campus about two minutes beyond it.
For the shopping centre, the office confirms the staging point with the centre before the day.
On the residential side, the reserves and the community hub list car parking, but a car park is not a coach bay. Where a coach cannot stand at the gate, the answer is to stage it on the nearest suitable street and walk the group across. Quinces settles that at booking stage, not on the day.
Group sizes we fit
Tell us how many people are travelling and Quinces will match the vehicle. The fleet is minibuses and coaches, so a handful of people and a full school year level can both be covered without sending half of them in a second vehicle.
Groups are matched along these lines:
- Small groups: minibuses for wedding parties, seniors' outings and TAFE cohorts
- Mid-size groups: coaches for sports squads, school classes and community clubs
- Large groups: touring coaches for whole year levels, multi-vehicle event movements and long day trips
