The decision to site the city's main bus station in Willow Street will be revisited on Thursday this week before a final decision is made at the next council meeting on November 22.
Mayor Stuart Crosby says the 9am workshop is being held in part to brief the four councillors who were absent when the decision was made to site the bus station in Willow Street instead of Durham Street.

The 'informal workshop” will also be the opportunity to explore some of the issues raised since the decision was made, says Stuart.
'Some councilors want some more information on the transport centre's sites and effects,” says Stuart.
'We will also have a representative from the New Zealand Transport Agency there which is mainly so they can explain the criteria for their funding.
'At the end of the day if they are to fund it then they will determine where the money goes.”
The NZTA has approved funding for the Willow Street transport centre.
The council applied for a 60 per cent subsidy or $450,000 to build the $750,000 bus station there. The money is now approved and will be made available over two financial years.
Public opposition to the choice of Willow Street over Durham Street for the bus stops led to the council saying last month that the location question will be revisited when the funding is obtained.
Councillor Murray Guy opposes the Willow Street site and says council staff skewed numbers to support Willow Street.
A staff report states 467 people provided feedback with 53.5 per cent preferring Willow Street, and 40.9 per cent preferring Durham Street.
Murray says the real figure is; 911 people provided feedback, with 238, or 26 per cent preferring Willow Street, and 645 people or 70 per cent believing Durham Street is a better site.
Murray says 28 people wanted a third option, and believes this number would have been greater if people had known it was an option.
Murray say council staff rejected 408 signatures, including names and addresses, on a petition that opposed Willow Street, and instead included in the 467 supporting Willow Street, 106 anonymous text responses, 100 anonymous website votes, and 150 anonymous brochure responses.
Other areas of the staff report Murray says leave much to be desired, like the reliability of costings, the absence of environmental impacts and the sustainable assertions for growth.
Speaking on the issue last month, Murray says the $400,000 NZ Transport Agency funding is sought on the basis of false information and should be withdrawn.
