    Integrated Transport Plan Background Paper i Background Paper January 2017 This background paper was compiled by Hobsons Bay City Council. For further information contact Council on 9932 1000 or at www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au Council acknowledges all language groups of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of these municipal lands. We recognise the first people’s relationship to this land and offer our respect to their elders past and present. Council also acknowledges the legal responsibility to comply with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 and the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. ii Executive summary The purpose of this background paper is to present an evidence base to inform future integrated transport planning in Hobsons Bay. Background Council released the Hobsons Bay Integrated Transport Strategy in 2006. More recently, consultation has identified ‘access to transport’ as an ongoing issue, particularly in neighbourhoods with limited transport options and high car dependency. In response to these concerns, Council committed to commence the development of an Integrated Transport Plan in 2014, with the first step being to develop a background paper. This background paper reinforces the need for long term strategic planning to coordinate Hobsons Bay’s interrelated transport modes into an integrated system. This ‘network approach’ is underpinned by a sustainable transport hierarchy that prioritises active, public and freight transport, while encouraging reduced private car use. Integrated transport planning can

  • Infrastructure Capability Assessment Transport
    Infrastructure Capability Assessment Transport Infrastructure Victoria Infrastructure Capability Assessment Transport What this assessment is about This infrastructure capability assessment is one of a series of supporting documents that Infrastructure Victoria (IV) has used to assist them in developing their paper - Laying the Foundations, Setting objectives and identifying needs for Victoria’s 30-year infrastructure strategy. This assessment sets out to: • Identify the major assets in the sector and provide the wider context in which assets operate, including the interconnections between assets, identification of key stakeholders and current industry trends in the sector • Provide a base of quantitative data as a foundation from which IV can start developing the strategy in relation to asset value, historical and forecast investment, infrastructure performance and current/future capacity in each sector • Identify the future challenges and opportunities associated with the sector, specifically related to how existing infrastructure can be used to accommodate future demand. This assessment represents an initial view on infrastructure in the sector and has been prepared based on publicly available information and in consultation with the stakeholders with whom we have engaged to date. Data collection has been based on consolidation of existing and available information as opposed to undertaking new primary research. This assessment is intended to set the scene for broader discussion and is complemented by a range of other technical documents available at www.infrastructurevictoria.com.au. It is IV’s intention that this work serves as one of the platforms for further engagement and refinement of Victoria’s infrastructure needs as IV progresses its 30 year infrastructure strategy development further.

  • Bus Safety Regulations 2020
    Level 5, 1 Macarthur Street EAST MELBOURNE VIC 3000 03 7005 9772 [email protected] betterregulation.vic.gov.au Ms Megan Bourke-O’Neil Deputy Secretary, Policy and Innovation Department of Transport 1 Spring Street MELBOURNE VIC 3000 26 June 2020 Dear Ms Bourke-O’Neil REGULATORY IMPACT STATEMENT FOR BUS SAFETY REGULATIONS 2020 I would like to thank your staff at the Department of Transport (the Department) for working with the team at Better Regulation Victoria on the preparation of the Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) for the proposed Bus Safety Regulations 2020 (the proposed Regulations) to replace the Bus Safety Regulations 2010 (the existing Regulations), which sunset on 12 October 2020. As you know, the Commissioner for Better Regulation provides independent advice on the adequacy of analysis provided in all RISs in Victoria. A RIS is deemed to be adequate when it contains analysis that is logical, draws on relevant evidence, is transparent about any assumptions made, and is proportionate to the proposal’s expected effects. The RIS also needs to be written clearly so that it can be a suitable basis for public consultation. I am pleased to advise that the final version of the RIS received by us on 25 June 2020 meets the adequacy requirements set out in the Subordinate Legislation Act. Background The proposed Regulations are made under the Bus Safety Act 2009 (the Act), which empowers the Safety Director and establishes a system of bus safety regulation. Under the Act, operators of bus services are either accredited operators if they operate any buses that seat 13 or more passengers, or registered operators if they only operate vehicles with between 10 and 12 seats.
