I don't know who keeps changing it, but I can assure you this is NOT part of grand plaza shopping centre, it is translink property!

It is widely known that no private shopping centre corporation has any jurisdiction over public transport interchanges. They are owned and controlled by the public transport authorities, in this case, translink.

Wrong. TransLink does not own it, as TransLink itself owns no infrastructure, not even public bus infrastructure like the busways. It is gazetted as an interchange somewhere in transport regulations passed under transport-related Acts of Parliament, but it is geographically and legally within Grand Plaza. Bus services merely have rights of access and use. If you can show otherwise, please prove it and the change will be fine. SM247^{My Talk} 07:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

So why were translink recently refurbishing it? I can prove it because I was banned from grand plaza by grand plaza staff. Except they can't ban myself from using a public transport interchange because they have no jurisdiction over it, so therefore the shopping centre does not own it.

I think that you'll find the land is technically owned by the shopping centre but the transport department pay for right of use of the land. It's no different to how the shopping centre rents space inside the complex to individual businesses. The complex itself does not refurbish each shop, so why is it unusual for translink to update it's interchange? --Spuzzdawg (talk) 10:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
