    Eastlink to Open on 29 June - Five Months Early

    12 May 2008 EASTLINK TO OPEN ON 29 JUNE - FIVE MONTHS EARLY ConnectEast, the owner and operator of EastLink, yesterday confirmed to the Victorian Government that it will deliver the $2.5 billion motorway on 29 June 2008 – on-budget and five months ahead of time. To celebrate the completion of this landmark Public Private Partnership project and to encourage motorist familiarisation, ConnectEast announced the first four weeks of operation will be toll-free. ConnectEast also revealed plans to host a community open day on Sunday 15 June to give people a once-in-a-lifetime chance to walk, run or cycle on the road before it opens to traffic. Managing Director, John Gardiner, said the opening of EastLink (and the untolled Ringwood Bypass) well ahead of the 30 November contract date demonstrated the capacity of the private sector to accelerate the delivery of massive projects. “Over the life of this construction ConnectEast has averaged $59 million expenditure per month, including five consecutive months when expenditure exceeded $100 million,” Mr Gardiner said. “This demonstrates the capacity of the private sector, with the support of government, to harness all the necessary resources to make big infrastructure projects a reality in the shortest possible time. “EastLink is already generating an economic and population boom in Melbourne’s outer east and south-east, with businesses and residents re-locating to make the most of the motorway. “EastLink will mean safer driving plus time and fuel savings every day for many thousands of Victorians. The road will revolutionise the lives of people living and working in Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs by providing a high- quality uninterrupted north-south transport corridor from Mitcham to Frankston.

    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.

    Outer Melbourne Connect | Special Report October 2008

    • transport • community • industry outer Special Report | October 2008 melbourne outer melbourne connect | special report October 2008 Melbourne is booming. Every week, another 1,200 people call Melbourne home and the Victorian Government now predicts that we will become the nation’s largest city within 20 years. This rapid population growth has strained Melbourne’s transport system and threatens Victoria’s economic prosperity and Melbourne’s liveability. The region feeling the pain the outer most is outer Melbourne, home to over half of Melbourne’s population and set for continued rapid growth. melbourne In 2002, RACV produced a special report titled ‘The Missing Links’, which presented a plan for upgrading transport infrastructure in outer metropolitan Melbourne. transport The Missing Links identified seventy-four critical road and public transport projects and a much needed $2.2 billion community investment. Six years on, only half of these projects have been built or had funds committed to build them. The other industry half remain incomplete and the intervening period of strong population and economic growth has created further pressing demands on our transport system. Melbourne’s liveability is recognised worldwide and RACV wants it to stay this way. For this reason, we have again consulted with state and local governments and listened to Members to identify an updated program of works to meet the needs of people living in and travelling through Melbourne’s outer suburbs. RACV presents Outer Melbourne Connect as a responsible blueprint comprising road improvements, rail line extensions and significant public transport service improvements.Connect provides a comprehensive and connected transport network to address the critical backlog of projects in outer Melbourne.

    21 Municipal Strategic Statement 21.01 Municipal

    LOCAL PROVISION GREATER DANDENONG PLANNING SCHEME 21 MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 21.01-1 Overview The City of Greater Dandenong acknowledges the Kulin Nation people as the traditional custodians of land on which the City is located. The City of Greater Dandenong was established on 15 December 1994 by the merger of the former City of Dandenong, approximately seventy percent of the former City of Springvale and small parts of the former Cities of Berwick and Cranbourne. The City occupies 129.6 square kilometres and its centre is approximately thirty kilometres east of the Melbourne Central Activities District (CAD). It includes the suburbs of Dandenong, Dandenong North, Dandenong South, Springvale, Springvale South, Noble Park, Keysborough, Lyndhurst and Bangholme. The population is rapidly ageing and was estimated at 130,941 in 1997, with a projected decline to 128,028 in 2011. Fourteen percent of families are sole-parent. Greater Dandenong has an extremely culturally diverse population with 137 different nationalities represented, of which forty-six percent were born overseas. Thirty-eight percent are from non-English speaking backgrounds. The most significant ethnic grouping is the Asian-born population, which is one of the highest concentrations in metropolitan Melbourne. Migration patterns reflect areas of global conflict and world “hot spots”. Incomes in Greater Dandenong are characteristically low compared with metropolitan Melbourne. Unemployment has traditionally exceeded regional and State levels by three to four percent although there has been a decline in unemployment rates in recent years. The labour force is relatively low skilled, with sixty-seven percent of the population without tertiary qualifications.
