Every driver on our roster carries a current Working with Children Check and police clearance, and every vehicle appears on the Safe Transport Victoria Public Register.

Mount Waverley, centre and reserves

Mount Waverley VIC 3149 sits in the City of Monash. It is a residential suburb, and group transport here gathers around two places: the village around the railway station, and the sporting reserve on Charles Street.

The village is the Mount Waverley Activity Centre, identified in Plan Melbourne as a Major Activity Centre. Council's planning paper describes it as sitting beside the railway station and Stephensons Road, a major north-south arterial. Its core is the Village Shopping Centre, a horseshoe of shops built around a car park, with supermarkets, banks, chemists and a post office. North of the railway line, opposite the station, are the Mount Waverley Library and Community Centre on Miller Crescent, and the Youth Centre.

The sporting end is Mount Waverley Reserve at 8-26 Charles Street. It has an oval, a pavilion, cricket nets and a playground, and council names the Waverley Blues Football/Netball Club and the Mount Waverley Cricket Club as its existing users. Council's masterplan works there include a new two-storey sports pavilion for the two clubs.

Between them are streets of wide verges and established gardens, with schools scattered through.

Who we move around Mount Waverley

Quinces Coaches transports school groups, sports teams, aged care and community groups, wedding guests and corporate teams across Mount Waverley.

School and University Groups

Quinces runs excursions, camps, interschool sport and end-of-year transport for Prep to Year 12, with primary and secondary schools in and around the village. Every vehicle is on the Safe Transport Victoria Public Register, which schools must check, and every driver holds a current WWC and police clearance. University groups can be moved to Monash's Clayton campus, about 4 km from the depot. Send the date, year level and destination with your quote request.

Sports Clubs

Mount Waverley Reserve at 8-26 Charles Street has an oval, a pavilion and cricket nets, and council names the Waverley Blues Football/Netball Club and the Mount Waverley Cricket Club as existing users. Quinces can move squads from grounds like this to away fixtures, finals and carnivals. A club that travels often can set up a recurring booking with the office instead of quoting each trip. The office confirms the pickup point with the club before the day.

Aged Care and Community

Quinces runs social outings, day trips and community transport for aged care residents, seniors groups and neighbourhood organisations across Mount Waverley and the City of Monash. The Mount Waverley Community Centre on Miller Crescent can work as a meeting point for groups heading out together. Departure and return times are confirmed at booking, and wheelchair-accessible transport can be arranged and is confirmed at quote stage. Vehicles are matched to the passengers.

Weddings and Events

Wedding parties and private functions in Mount Waverley can need guests moved between a home, a ceremony and a reception elsewhere in the south-east. Quinces runs those shuttles with return legs arranged for the end of the night. Minibuses suit a bridal party and close family, coaches carry the larger guest lists, and Quinces matches the vehicle once numbers and venue timings are confirmed. The office confirms the pickup point for each booking before the day.

Corporate and Business Groups

The village has a diverse mix of businesses along Stephensons Road, and local offices and practices book staff outings, off-site days and conference transfers. Quinces runs those from a single pickup or several, timed around the working day and the traffic. The office confirms the pickup point for each booking before the day, and delegate transfers from the airport or CBD can be added to the same booking, with one quote covering the whole itinerary.

Charter services

Quinces runs the following charter services for Mount Waverley clients.

Corporate and Conference Shuttles

Staff outings, off-site days and conference runs for Mount Waverley businesses, with pickups from one address or several and returns timed to the working day. Airport and CBD delegate transfers are covered too.

School and University Transport

Excursions, camps, interschool sport and end-of-year events for Mount Waverley schools, plus group runs to university campuses. Every driver holds a current WWC and police clearance, and every vehicle is on the register.

Aged Care and Community Transport

Social outings and day trips for aged care residents, seniors groups and community groups in Mount Waverley. Every driver is WWC and police cleared. Wheelchair-accessible transport can be arranged, confirmed at quote stage.

Sports Team Transport

Weekend and weekday runs for Mount Waverley football, netball and cricket clubs heading to away fixtures, finals or presentation nights. Kit travels with the team, and clubs that travel often can set up a recurring booking.

Wedding and Event Transport

Guest shuttles between Mount Waverley homes, ceremonies and receptions across the south-east. Return legs are arranged for the end of the night, with minibuses for small parties and coaches for larger guest lists.

Airport Transfers

Group transfers between Mount Waverley and Tullamarine or Avalon, for schools, squads, families and corporate groups. Melbourne Airport is about 42 km from the depot, Avalon about 70 km. Multi-leg runs are quoted as one.

Coach Tours and Day Trips

Regional day trips for Mount Waverley community groups, seniors and private parties, picked up and dropped back in Mount Waverley. Destinations include the Yarra Valley, the Mornington Peninsula and the Great Ocean Road.

Mount Waverley landmarks and pickup points

These are the Mount Waverley addresses most likely to come up on a booking. Knowing where a coach can stand at each of them saves the group a wait on the day.

  • Mount Waverley railway station, beside Stephensons Road
  • Mount Waverley Library at 41 Miller Crescent, with car parking at the rear, entered from Wadham Parade
  • Mount Waverley Community Centre at 47 Miller Crescent
  • The Village Shopping Centre and the Stephensons Road shops
  • Mount Waverley Reserve at 8-26 Charles Street, where the Waverley Blues Football/Netball Club and the Mount Waverley Cricket Club are existing users
  • Sherwood Park, south of the village shops

If your pickup is not on that list, send the address with your quote request and the office confirms the staging point beforehand. For a school or a club, that conversation is usually short.

Getting a coach in and out of Mount Waverley

Stephensons Road is the street that matters. Council's 2019 planning paper counts more than 40,000 vehicle movements on it each weekday, with a 60 km/h limit that drops to 40 km/h in school zones. The office confirms the pickup point for a school run with the school beforehand.

The village car park is the other pinch point. It is entered off Stephensons Road, and the same paper describes its layout as having grown piece by piece, with confusing access points. The office confirms the pickup point for each booking before the day.

Around the station, the library and community centre sit on Miller Crescent, and the library car park is entered from Wadham Parade. Bus route 623 serves that side of the station, so the office nominates a staging spot that does not obstruct it. At Mount Waverley Reserve the office agrees the staging point with the club before the day.

For longer runs, Melbourne Airport is about 42 km from the depot, and Avalon about 70 km.

Group sizes we fit

Tell us your group size and we will match the right bus. Quinces runs minibuses and coaches, so whether you have a seniors social group, a football squad or a whole year level heading on camp, there is a vehicle that fits without a second trip or paying for space you do not need.

Groups typically book the following:

  • Small groups: minibuses for wedding parties, small community groups and staff outings
  • Mid-size groups: coaches for sports teams, class excursions and aged care outings
  • Large groups: touring coaches for whole year levels, big guest lists and multi-bus movements
