In May, the Times reported that the old shelter from a stop outside Clarkson’s main shopping centre had been lying on its side inside the construction site after the stop was moved west during expansion works.
Ocean Keys Shopping Centre marketing manager Victoria Hansen said the centre had bought a new shelter, which it expected to install at the temporary stop this week.
‘They have done the paving and concreting,’ she said.

Butler MLA John Quigley’s electorate officer Lisa Wallis said there had been a push for a shelter at the temporary stop to protect residents from winter weather, but the old one had disappeared from the construction site a few weeks ago.
Ms Wallis said the electorate office was also being relocated as a result of the centre expansion, and would be temporarily ‘homeless’ until the new office was ready, near the Pensacola Terrace roundabout.
