  • Integrated Transport Plan
    Integrated Transport Plan Background Paper i Background Paper January 2017 This background paper was compiled by Hobsons Bay City Council. For further information contact Council on 9932 1000 or at www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au Council acknowledges all language groups of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of these municipal lands. We recognise the first people’s relationship to this land and offer our respect to their elders past and present. Council also acknowledges the legal responsibility to comply with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 and the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. ii Executive summary The purpose of this background paper is to present an evidence base to inform future integrated transport planning in Hobsons Bay. Background Council released the Hobsons Bay Integrated Transport Strategy in 2006. More recently, consultation has identified ‘access to transport’ as an ongoing issue, particularly in neighbourhoods with limited transport options and high car dependency. In response to these concerns, Council committed to commence the development of an Integrated Transport Plan in 2014, with the first step being to develop a background paper. This background paper reinforces the need for long term strategic planning to coordinate Hobsons Bay’s interrelated transport modes into an integrated system. This ‘network approach’ is underpinned by a sustainable transport hierarchy that prioritises active, public and freight transport, while encouraging reduced private car use. Integrated transport planning can

    dd Wyndham Pedestrian & Cycle Strategy Cyclist Feedback, Identified network expansion requirements and missing links Wyndham City Council has received a great deal of feedback on cycling within the municipality. The identified issues were considered in writing the 2019 Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy. The feedback has been grouped under common categories in the tables below, to keep like comments together. Table-1 Safety and Blackspot feedback Location Type Comment Derrimut Road Crossing Points crossings at Sayers and Leakes Roads – but I believe these are going to be dealt with by VicRoads Cycle lane Cycle lane on the Eastern side is in one direction only. It’s a busy Derrimut Road road so lanes on both sides of the road need to be two way. Also, going under the railway bridge near the Princess Highway Obstacles There are many obstacles within the shared paths – e.g. Derrimut SUP Road, adjacent to Aqualink – a no standing sign (I think) way too close to the middle of the Shared path. Cyclists could easily crash into it; Cnr Derrimut Road and Willmott Cres – many signs Derrimut Road obstructing the path – traffic lights, bike path sign (!!), no standing or something. Not at all safe. Also a shared path sign on cnr of Kookaburra and Derrimut – in middle of path instead of off to the side. Kookaburra Ave Cycle Path Paths on Kookaburra Ave have speed cushions in them. At night Obstacles they are invisible (even with bicycle lights). No need – could have treatment similar to Shaw’s Road.

  • Recreational Activity Surveys During COVID-19 and Comparison with Pre-Lockdown Activity Levels
    More people out on bicycles: Recreational activity surveys during COVID-19 and comparison with pre-lockdown activity levels May 2020 Measuring recreational activity in unprecedented times Lockdown in Victoria On 30 March 2020, the Minister for Health and Medical Research signed an Order for stage 3 lockdown measures to be put in place across Australian states, following a national outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The Order, which in Victoria falls under section 200 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act (2008)1, 2, places legally enforceable restrictions on all non-essential gatherings, as a means of minimising the spread of the deadly virus. During the stage 3 restrictions, there are only four reasons for Victorian residents to be outside: • purchasing food and essential supplies; • medical, care or compassionate needs; • exercise; and • work and study if they cannot be undertaken remotely2. How has this affected our recreational activities? An arising question is how these restrictions have affected the recreational needs of residents in Victoria and elsewhere. A recent survey by Bicycle Network3 found that, in response to stage 3 restrictions across Australian states: • 73 per cent [of respondents] are planning to use a bicycle to access essential services (shops, healthcare, work and education) in the coming weeks and months; • 84 per cent of healthcare workers said they would ride bicycles more or the same amount; and • Most respondents (39 per cent) said that they will be riding a bicycle outdoors to get their daily exercise. In addition, emerging data suggests an increase in bicycle purchases during lockdown restrictions4. These findings suggest that, given these increased needs for bicycle-related transport, exercise and recreation; Australian roads and shared paths may be exhibiting major deviations from normal bicycle traffic volumes.

  • Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback
    Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback We have received a great deal of feedback already on cycling within Wyndham. We have considered these items when writing the strategy so far and will include them in an appendix contained in the final version of the Strategy. The appendix list will inform Wyndham City’s future infrastructure planning and capital works budgets, and any advocacy to State and Federal Governments for cycle infrastructure funding. We have included this list so that all involved in the consultation know what other community members have provided as well as what is being considered as input into the strategy. The responses have been grouped under common categories to keep like comments together. Safety/Blackspots Comments include: If it felt safer to ride - the traffic is extremely scary, sometimes. I prefer to have dedicated bicycle only or shared paths for safety reasons and for a relaxed enjoyable ride. I believe more people will be into cycling in Wyndham Vale if such dedicated bike trials exists. Tarneit Rd – at some points the cycle path is in service roads, and cyclists who are travelling straight ahead inexplicably have to give way to motorists who are turning left. Derrimut Rd – crossings at Sayers and Leakes Roads – but I believe these are going to be dealt with by VicRoads Derrimut Rd – Cycle lane on the Eastern side is in one direction only. It’s a busy road so lanes on both sides of the road need to be two way. Also, going under the railway bridge near Princes Hwy – the shared path is almost unusable and frequently covered in glass.
