Minister for Roads and Parking Mick Gentleman said the extension would free up more space for the busy drop-off and pick-up area and reduce the need for buses to return to the Tuggeranong bus depot out of service.
"Several bus routes either depart from the Lanyon Marketplace, or end there, which means drivers are often required to park buses adjacent to the Marketplace to prepare for the next service," he said.
"The bus parking bay adjacent to Lanyon Marketplace has been extended. The bus shelters on the north and south side of Box Hill Avenue have also been relocated to allow buses to park at the rear of the stop, increasing the useable space for the layover."
Mr Gentleman said the upgrade also included a small toilet block for bus driver which was expected to be ready for use in October.
