These concrete bus shelters were designed in 1974 by architect Clem Cummings, who first moved to Canberra from Queensland to attend the Royal Military College at Duntroon. The project was an unique opportunity for the Canberra-based architect, who set up his own practice in 1971.
By 1975 the Government was preparing to install the first 100 concrete bus shelters, which were part of a broader plan to expand Canberra's bus network as the city grew. The first shelter was installed on Adelaide Avenue.
The original design was continually tweaked. From 1976, a special concrete coating was used to make the shelters more resistant to vandalism.
Since 2007, 64 concrete shelters have been relocated, to make way for newer advertising shelters that will be maintained by a private company, but there are no plans to remove the shelters from the city completely.
