  • 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.
