Bus operator Kangaroo Bus Lines, in an effort to expand its capabilities across Queensland, will soon open a second satellite depot in Brisbane.
Opening it doors in April 2025, the additional depot in the inner Brisbane suburb of Banyo aims to grow the operator’s tour and charter business.

“We are extremely excited to find a good, suitable location in this northern part of Brisbane to strengthen our charter business and deliver greater efficiencies for our clients as we continue to grow this division of the KBL brand,” Kangaroo Bus Lines CEO Darren Webster says.
“The growth we have experienced in recent years supports this strategic placement of our new depot location and assists us in better servicing our Brisbane based clients and customers, along with the work we regularly perform at the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal.”
The Banyo depot will accommodate up to 40 vehicles at full capacity, with onsite refuelling, washing and basic services facilities, along with an office and full driver amenities.
“One of the big advantages we see with this new site is the efficiencies we can pass on to our customers,” Webster says.
“Our coaches will no longer have to sit in the already congested road network travelling to and from our Burpengary head office.”
Managed by a dedicated team based at Banyo, the new depot forms part of the larger Kangaroo Bus Lines business, underpinned by the Burpengary Head Office and secondary Sunshine Coast depot.
“KBL looks forward to offering our clients and customers enhanced transport and logistical solutions from Brisbane City right through to the Sunshine Coast,” Webster says.
