History[]
In March 1972, the National Capital Development Commission awarded Leighton Contractors a contract to build Woden bus station.[1] It opened on 4 December 1972.[2][3] On 6 December 1982 an upgrade was completed that doubled its size and included heated waiting rooms.[4][5] In 1994 a further upgrade was completed.[6]
Having been named Woden bus station since it opened, in April 2019 it was renamed Woden Interchange.[7][8] It is to be replaced by a new interchange with a Canberra Institute of Technology campus to open on the old site in 2025.[9]
