Catherine Cusack, the Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, said the funds granted to Port Stephens through the Country Passenger Transport Infrastructure Grants Scheme would improve public transport accessibility for travellers.
"This grant will help build new shelters at Anna Bay, Raymond Terrace and Salt Ash," she said
"These new shelters will help to make public transport and connections between bus stops more accessible to those communities and include accessible features like connecting paths, signage, tactile indicators and seating."
Ms Cusack added that the 13 new bus shelters would meet accessibility standards.
The Country Passenger Transport Infrastructure Grants Scheme provides subsidies to support the construction or upgrade of bus stop infrastructure generally owned and maintained by local councils across rural and regional NSW.
