    Viable, Safe, Sustainable and Efficient Road Transport Industry’, My Submission Relates to the Following Items from the Terms of Reference B

    Regarding the enquiry for a ‘viable, safe, sustainable and efficient road transport industry’, my submission relates to the following items from the Terms of Reference b. the development and maintenance of road transport infrastructure to ensure a safe and efficient road transport industry; e. the social and economic impact of road-related injury, trauma and death; h. the importance of establishing a formal consultative relationship between the road transport industry and all levels of government in Australia. My concern relates specifically to VicRoads granting permits for road trains and super heavy vehicles to travel from the top end of the state; i.e. Mildura and Robinvale Victoria etc to Melbourne and to Dooen etc along roads that are not designed for these size trucks and without passing lanes for hundreds of kms.. Below I have number of questions that relate to my concerns. What about passing lanes? There are none on the Calder Highway for 350kms from nth Hattah to Ravenswood (sth Bendigo) and the 240kms from nth Hattah to Dooen/Horsham. (involving the Calder, Sunraysia and Henty Highways. What happens with vehicles travelling at different speeds? Imagine a situation where a caravan is cruising at 80km/hr, followed by a road trains at its 90km/hr, followed by B Doubles at 100km/h and then a line of cars at 100km/hr; with north of Wycheproof at 110km/h; Without passing lanes for hundreds of kms it is a terrible risk to the public. Should there be consideration to the fact that the only public transport we have involves the same roads? We do not have a rail public transport system.

  • There Has Been an Italian Presence in the Riverland Since

    There Has Been an Italian Presence in the Riverland Since

    1 Building blocks of settlement: Italians in the Riverland, South Australia By Sara King and Desmond O’Connor The Riverland region is situated approximately 200 km. north-east of Adelaide and consists of a strip of land on either side of the River Murray from the South Australian-Victorian border westwards to the town of Morgan. Covering more than 20,000 sq. km., it encompasses the seven local government areas of Barmera, Berri, Loxton, Morgan, Paringa, Renmark and Waikerie.1 The region was first identified as an area of primary production in 1887 when two Canadian brothers, George and William Chaffey, were granted a licence to occupy 101,700 hectares of land at Renmark in order to establish an irrigated horticultural scheme. By 1900 a prosperous settlement had developed in the area for the production of vines and fruit, and during the 1890s Depression other ‘village settlements’ were established down river by the South Australian Government to provide work for the city-based unemployed.2 During the years between the foundation of the villages and the First World War there was intense settlement, especially around Waikerie, Loxton, Berri and Barmera, as the area was opened up and increased in value.3 After World War 1, the SA Government made available new irrigation blocks at Renmark and other localities in the Riverland area to assist the resettlement of more than a thousand returned soldiers. A similar scheme operated in New South Wales, where returned servicemen were offered blocks in Leeton and Griffith, in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.4 The period after World War 2 saw further settlement of returned soldiers on fruit blocks in the Riverland and new irrigation areas were developed to cater for this growth.
