  • Koonung Creek Linear Park Management Plan 2011

    Koonung Creek Linear Park Management Plan 2011

    Message from the Mayor Our vision is for a vibrant, safe and culturally diverse community that fosters participation, connectedness, harmony, social inclusion, health and wellbeing. Our parks and reserves are the 'green lungs' for the City and are areas for our enjoyment. When we visit our parks and reserves we feel a sense of wellbeing. We need to plan for them so they can be enjoyed today and be there tomorrow for our children. A well-designed, planned and managed urban green space provides significant aesthetic, social, psychological and environmental benefits for their users. The Koonung Creek Linear Park is enjoyed by many of those who live in Bulleen, Doncaster, Doncaster East and Donvale and our neighbouring municipalities as well. When we improve the access to our natural setting we are improving the quality of life in our neighbourhoods. We are fortunate to have this wonderful “green” environment accessible by so many of our residents to enjoy a walk, cycle and time in a natural setting. There are many benefits for people who visit green, open spaces including: an opportunity to increase physical activity; lower stress levels; experience changes of scenery; and, a place to wind down. I would like to thank the community for their contribution to the consultation process as it has greatly assisted us to identify the issues and opportunities which have shaped the development of the recommendations. GEOFF GOUGH Mayor Executive Summary The Koonung Creek Linear Park Management Plan has been prepared to continue to protect and enhance the environmental values of the Park balanced with the provision of recreational opportunities and experiences in a mix of urban and natural setting, including, walking, cycling, dog walking, commuting and nature appreciation.

Submission for Environmental Effects Statement for the North East Link Submission to Planning Panels Victoria. Blackburn Village Residents Group Inc. Prepared by David Morrison. When do we reassess our approach? The case for better Public Transport Options. Melbourne commuter vehicles have less than 1.2 passengers per car, about 75% of Melbournians drive to work. A Melbourne train (6 carriages) carries about 1300 seated passengers, more if those standing are counted. Feeder roads south of eastern freeway are already near or exceeding capacity. NEL business case has Springvale Road (800), Surry Road (1100) and Middleborough Road (1600) vehicles per lane per hour during the am peak. Capacity is reached between 800 and 900 vehicles per hour. Land requirements for duplicated train line is much less than a multi lane freeway to move the same number of people. 14 trains leave Belgrave for the City in the morning peak between 7.30 and 8.30am. 18200 seated passengers and many more if those standing are counted. About 17 lanes of arterial road are required to move the 18200 people in that same hour assuming 1.2 people per car. I train line requires about the same space as one lane of traffic. Melbourne’s population will continue to grow. The NEL will not be the final answer. A stronger emphasis on public and active transport is required.
  • Shared Paths

    Shared Paths

    Shared paths – the issues They [cyclists] go ‘whoosh’ as they go past, and often the “ paths aren’t very wide, so this notion that you have to share has to come with more thought. If there’s not enough room it’s not a good match. If it’s got to be shared it’s got to be wider. Or separation between them.” Quote from focus groups with Victorian seniors (Garrard 2013) Thank You Victoria Walks would like to acknowledge and thank the following organisations who provided source information and feedback on the initial draft of this paper. • CDM Research • Frankston City Council • Wyndham City Council • Malcolm Daff Consulting • City of Yarra • Cardinia City Council Victoria Walks would also like to thank Dr Jan Garrard, VicRoads and officers from the following councils, who provided comment on the draft – Ballarat, Bayside, Boroondara, Brimbank, Dandenong, Latrobe, Macedon Ranges, Manningham, Maroondah, Melton, Moonee Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Nillumbik and Surf Coast.

It reviews the literature relating to: • The safety of shared paths, including collision risk, the speed of cyclists and potential impact on pedestrians • User perception of shared paths • The circumstances where walking and cycling paths should be segregated or separated • International and local design guidance around shared paths • The practice of converting footpaths to shared paths • Legal liability issues raised by shared paths.
