Concerns about the effects on nearby organisations and problems of noise and pollution have been raised as the public has its say on the proposed Otago Regional Council bus hub. Community House's submission supported the bus hub, but raised concerns about noise, emissions, car parks and privacy. New Zealand Police was neutral on the proposal, but also raised concerns about access to the station. Bus users group Bus Go Dunedin raised concerns about weather protection and pedestrian safety. Some submissions opposed the placement of the hub, saying it was congested and difficult to access, and could affect local businesses.
