ComfortDelGro Corporation (CDC) Victoria marks its 15th anniversary, celebrating a remarkable journey of growth and service excellence in public transport. Since its acquisition of the Kefford Corporation in 2009, CDC Victoria has built a legacy of community-focused operations, expanding its reach and enhancing its capabilities.
Key milestones include the acquisition of Tullamarine Bus Lines and Buslink in Mildura and Broken Hill, alongside the opening of state-of-the-art facilities like the Wyndham Depot in 2018.
In 2015, the company introduced Victoria’s first and only double-decker route bus, followed by the rollout of 50 hybrid buses and eight electric buses, paving the way for greener transport options.
Looking ahead, CDC Victoria CEO Jeff Wilson shared the company’s vision: “Building on the proud legacy of the Kefford Corporation, we have grown through strategic acquisitions and innovations. Our recent success in securing three of the Victorian Department of Transport and Planning’s Metropolitan Zero Emission Bus Franchises (MZF) positions us to transition to full zero-emission operations within the next decade. This reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability and greener transport solutions.”
Community engagement remains central to CDC Victoria’s mission. Through initiatives promoting diversity, inclusion, youth empowerment, well-being, and environmental sustainability, the company continues to foster meaningful connections with the communities it serves.
Nicholas Yap, CEO of ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia (CDC), commended the team for their contributions: “Our incredible team, past and present, has been instrumental in achieving our successes. Together, we have built strong connections across Victoria and Australia, and I am excited to continue this growth.”
Russell Balding, Chairman of ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia, emphasised the company’s deep community ties: “After 15 years in Victoria and 20 years in Australia, our roots in the community remain the foundation of our success. It is a privilege to lead an organisation committed to sustainability, innovation, and community connection.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
