Generations of Family Ownership
Sunshine Coast Bus Lines has been moving people across Queensland since 1964. Family-owned across three generations, locally based, and accredited by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads.
Beyond the Destination
Sunshine Coast Bus Lines (SCBL) is a family-owned and operated charter bus and coach company based at Page St, Kunda Park, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. We have been moving Australian groups since 1964 — more than 60 years of transport logistics experience, three generations of family ownership, and a single focus on doing one thing well: getting groups where they need to go, safely and on time.
Our charter work covers the Sunshine Coast as our primary service area, with regular routes to Brisbane (~90 minutes), the Gold Coast (~2 hours), and Cairns, plus interstate touring to Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. We quote longer specialty trips on enquiry. Our fleet ranges from 3-seater VIP sedans through to 80-seater coaches, allowing us to match the right vehicle to the right job — whether that's a small executive transfer, a 250-guest wedding shuttle (across multiple vehicles), or a multi-day touring itinerary.
Beyond the vehicles, the people matter. Every SCBL driver holds a current Blue Card (Working with Children Check), and the company operates under Queensland Vehicle Operator Accreditation Q900486602 issued by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. We're also part of the Waggie Group, a family-run Australian transport company.
Why book with SCBL
At Sunshine Coast Bus Lines, we understand the importance of time. Our team is committed to providing reliable and punctual service, ensuring that you reach your destination on schedule, every time. Three generations of doing this work means we know the routes, the traffic patterns, and how to plan around them.
Our fleet ranges from 3-seater VIP sedans through to 80-seater coaches. Vehicles are regularly serviced, professionally cleaned, and matched to the right job. All coaches meet current Australian Design Rules and pass scheduled inspections.
Every SCBL driver holds a current Blue Card (Working with Children Check), is professionally trained, and knows the Sunshine Coast and surrounding regions intimately. They're courteous, safety-focused, and treat your group like the regulars we hope you'll become.
We quote what we can deliver. If your trip isn't a good fit for charter (very long-haul, specialty FIFO, clinical patient transport), we'll tell you upfront rather than over-promise. That's why we've kept the same families coming back for decades.

Get Started
Clean vehicles, well-maintained fleet, professional standards.
Sunshine Coast Bus Lines maintains our charter fleet to a standard that reflects sixty years of pride in the work. Every vehicle is cleaned and inspected between charters, and we follow current Queensland Transport regulations for fleet maintenance.
What that means in practice:
Have specific hygiene or accessibility requirements for your group?
Let us know when you book and we'll plan accordingly. Examples include allergen-aware vehicle prep, additional cleaning between legs of multi-day trips, or accommodating wheelchair users or passengers with mobility needs.
Since 1964 — that's over 60 years of continuous operation. We're now in our third generation of family ownership, all based at the same Page St depot in Kunda Park on the Sunshine Coast.
Yes. Sunshine Coast Bus Lines holds Queensland Vehicle Operator Accreditation Q900486602, issued by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. Every driver also holds a current Blue Card (Working with Children Check), which is particularly important for school and youth-group charters but applies to all our work. Public liability and passenger insurance are in place for all charter services.
Our fleet covers 3-seater VIP sedans through to 80-seater coaches, with sizes in between. For larger groups we run multiple vehicles in coordination — weddings of 200+ guests, school groups across multiple buses, sporting clubs travelling together. There's no real upper limit; it's a matter of how many vehicles we coordinate.
Our depot is at Page St, Kunda Park, on the Sunshine Coast (QLD 4556). The Sunshine Coast is our primary service area — Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Noosa, Maleny, and the hinterland. We also run regular charters to Brisbane (~90 minutes), the Gold Coast (~2 hours), Cairns (multi-day touring), and interstate to Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Longer specialty trips are quoted on enquiry.
Yes — Sunshine Coast Bus Lines is part of the Waggie Group, a family-owned Australian transport company operating multiple charter and tour brands. Being part of the group means access to a wider fleet network and shared expertise, while still running locally as an independent Sunshine Coast operator.
Standard charter cancellation policy:
Long-haul charters (e.g. Perth, Adelaide) have custom cancellation terms agreed at booking due to multi-day commitments and pre-booked accommodation.
Online via the quote request form is fastest — you tell us the group size, date, pickup and destination, and we'll come back with a quote within a business day. If you'd rather discuss it, call 0409 661 342 during office hours (8:30 AM – 5:30 PM AEST, Monday to Friday).
As your trusted partners in charters, transportation, and trip planning, we understand the importance of flexibility in delivery methods.
