  • Principal Freight Network – Submission to Consultation Via: [email protected]
    Friday 18 December 2020 Principal Freight Network – Submission to consultation Via: [email protected] To whom it may concern The Committee for Geelong provides strategic leadership and influence to leverage the economic and social prosperity of our city-region. An independent, non-partisan, membership-based, not for profit organisation, the CfG works collaboratively with an authoritative group of stakeholders and influencers to design Geelong’s best future. Please consider this document as the Committee for Geelong’s submission to the consultation regarding the Principal Freight Network development process. If you have any questions please contact me on [email protected] or M: 0413241033 Kind regards Jennifer Cromarty, CEO Committee for Geelong Submission - 1 Recommendations 1. There is a need to undertake integrated transport planning in Geelong that considers longer term needs with consideration of current and future transport modes, noting that such study will provide a sound foundation for a whole of G21 integrated transport strategy undertaken at a later date. 2. Note that two Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) studies should be undertaken. a) One ITP focussing on the Geelong Port precinct (including associated industrial areas), led by the Department of Transport / Victorian Regional Channels Authority (VRCA), and b) The other focussed on the CBD and urban/regional environs led by the Dept of Transport / City of Greater Geelong. 3. That both ITP’s will be overseen and supported by a steering committee led by State Government to ensure integration, alignment and consistency of the ITP inputs and outputs. As noted above, the outputs would be key inputs into a (next stage) G21 Integrated Transport Strategy to provide a cohesive transport and land use planning framework for the entire G21 region.

  • Trade Relocation Expanding Melbourne’S Port Capacity
    FACT SHEET Trade relocation Expanding Melbourne’s Port Capacity A key element of the creation of additional container capacity within the Port of Melbourne is the construction of a new international container terminal at Webb Dock East. To facilitate this work, shipping operations at Webb Dock East berths 3, 4 & 5 ceased on 1 July 2014. Until completed, the wharves at 3, 4 and 5 Webb Dock East will be under the control of the Corporation’s appointed maritime works contractor, McConnell Dowell, which will upgrade and modify the wharves. The closure of the three berths at Webb Dock will create the need to reallocate trade to other locations including Webb Dock West and Appleton Dock. These docks will be managed by Australian Amalgamated Terminals (AAT). Berth priority arrangements are in place to efficiently accommodate car trade in particular and ensure that Victoria continues to deliver its manufactured cars to world markets. There is also a temporary automotive laydown area, which is a secure car park for the short term storage of new vehicles, north of Williamstown Rd. Berthing of vessels at Appleton Dock and Webb Dock West are being managed in accordance with the berthing priority arrangements ‐ AAT is responsible for the allocations of all berths, Webb Dock West berth 2, Appleton Dock berths 1 (D & E) and 2 (B & C). Bass Strait coastal trade operators, Toll and SeaRoad, will continue with ‘business as usual’ during this period. Terminal operators and the Port of Melbourne Corporation are working closely to create ‘predictive schedules’ that will wherever possible minimise impacts, or at the very least, forecast ahead enabling co‐ordination across the supply chain.
