Craig Hollan Marjoram, 64, was charged with dangerous driving occasioning death after his bus allegedly ran over a pedestrian outside the Bay Village Shopping Centre in Bateau Bay on the morning of August 19, 2022.

The 46-year-old woman died at the scene.

Mr Marjoram and his passengers were uninjured during the incident.

The prosecution told the court the trial was expected to take five days and that it would ask for a viewing of the scene to be included.

A trial date has been set for March next year and the matter was adjourned to December for a readiness hearing.
