ABOUT LXRP The Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) was established by the Victorian Government to oversee one of the largest rail infrastructure projects in the state’s history. As part of the Major Transport Infrastructure Authority, LXRP projects fall under Victoria’s Big Build. Central to the project is the elimination of 75 level crossings across metropolitan Melbourne by 2025, in addition to other network upgrades such as stations, track duplication and train stabling yards. LXRP, as the project owner, plays a critical role within the Alliance by ensuring what is built drives best value for money for the state, is consistent with government policy settings, and reflects community and key stakeholder expectations. The project owner works closely with other Alliance partners to achieve this. Frankston Station Artist's impression only.

  • Roads, Inexperience, and Other Factors
    FOREWORD It is not uncommon for local authorities to aspire to build strong, healthy communities. There are three things that distinguish Mildura Rural City Council’s ambitions in this regard and which provide grounds for confidence that it will be especially successful in its endeavours. They are: (i) the integration of community development planning with a range of local government functions rather than positioning community concerns as an abstract pursuit on the margins of ‘real’ local government business; (ii) the creation of planning bodies that bring together community stakeholders and local government to identify regional strengths and deficiencies and to plan remedial action where needed; and (iii) using systematically gathered data, to guide the choice of community priorities and community strengthening activities and to monitor progress in achieving community objectives. The present publication testifies to the seriousness of Council’s commitment to basing its social planning on tangible evidence. In 2006 Mildura Social Indicators presented data on the general profile of the region, the presence of different forms of social distress, health problems and strengths, community safety, the structure of the regional economy, the educational progress of young people and qualifications of adults, and the use made of cultural repositories (essentially the Art Gallery and local libraries). The picture that emerged from that data review has assisted in the region’s dealings with other levels of government and has attracted the interest of other regional councils, particularly in Victoria. More importantly, the data has encouraged discussion between different local organisations and branches of government services leading to a range of new, collaborative community initiatives.

  • Moonee Valley City Council Public Consultation Submission
    Moonee Valley City Council Public Consultation Submission: Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan December 2019 Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan Moonee Valley City Council officers welcome the opportunity to provide comment on the Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan (Draft Plan). Officers have reviewed the Draft Plan and are pleased to make this submission. Please find below a number of comments and suggestions for your consideration. Approach to Planning for Industrial and Commercial Land Similar to at the State level, Moonee Valley experiences challenges due to population growth and associated demand for industrial and commercial space to support this growth. Moonee Valley comprises one area of Regionally Significant Industrial Land at Airport West and five reasonably small pockets of Local Industrial Land throughout its municipality (See Figure 1 below). Commercial areas and the Commercial 1 Zone (C1Z) are largely focused across its seven Major Activity Centres (see Figure 2 below). The small pockets of industrial land remaining in Moonee Valley perhaps reflect Melbourne’s economy transitioning away from traditional manufacturing towards one focussed on the production and delivery of services. Moonee Valley values its remaining industrial land and the diverse source of business and employment activity they provide. Moonee Valleys long term strategic vision, MV2040, calls for reinvigorating industrial areas such as Airport West where viable. There is a need to ensure that strategic planning for industrial areas is robust and appropriate and does not reduce viability for industry and commerce. Council welcomes therefore, state guidance in the form of this Draft Plan.
