...................................................................... 40 2 1 Introduction 1.1 CONTEXT This Green Travel Plan supports a commercial development in Kensington, which is known as Younghusband, and is located on land abutting Chelmsford, Elizabeth and Barrett Streets. The landowner and developer for the site is the Impact Investment Group. Younghusband is within the Arden-Macaulay urban renewal precinct, which straddles Kensington and North Melbourne. The development site is located within the Arden-Macaulay urban renewal precinct and is well placed to capitalise on excellent existing nearby public transport services and established bicycle and pedestrian networks. The presence of these existing comprehensive public transport and active transport networks provides the ideal environment to sustain low levels of car dependency and promote sustainable travel behaviour by tenants and visitors of the different development components proposed for the Younghusband site. The City of Melbourne has prepared a structure plan as a framework to guide that growth and process of change for Arden-Macaulay. The ‘Arden-Macaulay Structure Plan’, released in 2012 by the City of Melbourne, states that “Arden-Macaulay enjoys a high level of public transport provision, including three train stations, tram and bus routes.” This public transport accessibility will improve further with the completion of the Melbourne Metro, and other projects that will deliver enhanced public transport accessibility. The structure plan’s transport and infrastructure outcomes include: • Establishing excellent new and proposed public transport connections to create well-connected areas • Enabling a local residential and working population that will use the expanded public transport network • Reducing the car parking provision to levels conducive to inner city urban living that are well supported by alternative transport networks (walking, cycling and public transport) In support of these outcomes, the structure plan identifies a package of specific public transport, pedestrian and bicycle network improvements – many of which will provide direct benefit and enhance access to and from the Younghusband site. The unique accessibility of Arden-Macaulay offers particular scope for a range of land uses and this is reflected in the planning application processes for mixed use development being pursued by Impact Investment Group. More specifically, the land uses proposed under the Younghusband masterplan (office, education, industry, manufacturing sales, food and arts) are the ideal mix to attract future occupants prepared to make travel choices by public transport and active transport modes. The Green Travel Plan is one of a number of documents that has been prepared for submission in support of

Our objections have also been recorded on MapInfo and the relevant files are being sent separately. Yours sincerely, Samuel Rae State Secretary Australian Labor Party (Victorian Branch) 2 AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY OBJECTIONS TO REDISTRIBUTION COMMITTEE’S PROPOSAL FOR VICTORIA The ALP’s objections are summarised as follows: 1. Cox/Wannon-Unite all of Colac- Otway Shire in Wannon and all of Golden Plains Shire in Cox. Under the AEC proposal, Cox is a Division where two thirds of electors are drawn from Geelong and Queenscliff Councils. Wannon is a Division drawing two thirds of its electors from coastal based Shires, (Glenelg; Moyne; Warrnambool; Corangamite and part Colac-Otway). Whether any or no objections to Wannon or Cox succeed, the fundamental characteristics of both Divisions won’t change but it does make sense, particularly in rural areas to keep local government areas together.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Metropol Planning Solutions on behalf of the Impact Investment Group engaged AKWP Heritage Advisors to conduct a heritage assessment to determine the cultural heritage requirements in relation to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (amended 2016) and the Heritage Act 1995 prior to any proposed development of the site. The project consists of the development of a graded car park and associated ground works at 2-12 Barrett Street and the redevelopment of 1-7 Elizabeth Street Kensington Victoria, associated with a mixed use (commercial) development. Future plans include the redevelopment of the land for a mixed use (commercial) development of the site including basement car parking. The proposed development area is within the local government area of City of Melbourne. The wider geographic region of the Activity Area is defined as the land system of Gippsland Plain geomorphological unit that includes flat, low-lying coastal and alluvial plains with a gently undulating terrain dominated by barrier dunes, floodplains and swampy flats. The cadastral details for the Activity Area are Lot 1 TP517326 (2-12 Barrett Street) and Lot 1 TP595449 (1-7 Elizabeth Street (Map 2 & Appendix B). II. REGISTER SEARCH The searches of the registers indicate that there are no heritage listings within the Activity Area and no known Aboriginal cultural heritage Places within 50m of the immediate vicinity of the block.

  • Integrated Transport Strategy 2010–19
    Integrated Transport Strategy 2010–19 Balancing the transport needs of everyone in the community can be a difficult task as different road users have different needs. We all need to get around, so it is important Council supports a fair and equitable balance of these differing needs. The City of Moreland faces some considerable transport challenges, both now and in the future. Population growth, climate change, peak oil, health and wellbeing, congestion, economic development and social inclusion all will have an escalating impact on the way we move around. They present significant challenges and potentially opportunities for all tiers of government and our community. How we manage them will ultimately affect the way our City evolves. Moreland’s Integrated Transport Strategy 2010-19 (MITS) establishes Council’s strategic direction for transport planning for the next ten years. It identifies actions Council can implement to support sustainable communities and overcome some of these challenges. Four key objectives have been developed to work towards this vision. They are: • To achieve a mode shift towards more environmentally sustainable travel behaviours Cr Stella Kariofyllidis Mayor, Moreland City Council • To support social equity and ensure viable transport options for all sectors of the community • To improve safety of all modes of transport to support an active and healthy community • To support economic activity by providing for multi modal transport links for all forms of commerce in the City. In addition to actions Council can implement, the strategy contains many advocacy actions for issues beyond Council’s jurisdiction. Thus the endorsement of MITS empowers Council to advocate for improvements to our transport networks.

AMENDING LEGISLATION. The Highways and Vehicles Act No. 3379 passed in December, 1924, became operative during the year, when on the 11th February, 1925, the. main road from Bairnsdale to Wodonga through Bruthen, Omeo, and Tallangatta was declared a State Highway under the designation of the Omeo Highway. From the date mentioned, the financial responsibility for the maintenance of this highway has devolved upon the Board on behalf of the State. The highway passes through the municipal districts of the Shires of Bairnsdale, Tambo, Omeo, Towong, Yackandandah and Wodonga, and although the whole cost of the work of maintenance is borne by the Board, advantage has been taken of the provisions of Sec·tion 8 of the Highways and Vehicles Act to permit of the local municipal authorities carrying out and supervising the work, to which they have readily agreed.

  • Moonee Valley City Council Public Consultation Submission
    Moonee Valley City Council Public Consultation Submission: Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan December 2019 Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan Moonee Valley City Council officers welcome the opportunity to provide comment on the Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan (Draft Plan). Officers have reviewed the Draft Plan and are pleased to make this submission. Please find below a number of comments and suggestions for your consideration. Approach to Planning for Industrial and Commercial Land Similar to at the State level, Moonee Valley experiences challenges due to population growth and associated demand for industrial and commercial space to support this growth. Moonee Valley comprises one area of Regionally Significant Industrial Land at Airport West and five reasonably small pockets of Local Industrial Land throughout its municipality (See Figure 1 below). Commercial areas and the Commercial 1 Zone (C1Z) are largely focused across its seven Major Activity Centres (see Figure 2 below). The small pockets of industrial land remaining in Moonee Valley perhaps reflect Melbourne’s economy transitioning away from traditional manufacturing towards one focussed on the production and delivery of services. Moonee Valley values its remaining industrial land and the diverse source of business and employment activity they provide. Moonee Valleys long term strategic vision, MV2040, calls for reinvigorating industrial areas such as Airport West where viable. There is a need to ensure that strategic planning for industrial areas is robust and appropriate and does not reduce viability for industry and commerce. Council welcomes therefore, state guidance in the form of this Draft Plan.

    Suggestion 100 Australian Labor Party (Victorian Branch) 45 pages 3.BALLARAT 117 072(7.4) 127 041(8.5) 4.WANNON 115 433(5.9) 116 545 (-0.5) 5.MALLEE 113 801(4.4) 113 046(-3.5) 6.NICHOLLS 112 151 (2.9) 114 676 (-2.1) 7.BENDIGO 114 350(4.9) 123 958 (5.9) 8. INDI 113 713(4.3) 118 756 (1.4) Totals 913 867(38.2) 967 312(26.0) We suggest that the best way of making the necessary reduction of the rural surplus is to transfer from Ballarat all of Moorabool Shire to the new Division of Hawke. That proposed Division would take in most of Melton, making the suggested Division similar in make up to the former Division of Burke, abolished at the 2004 election. Then all of Golden Plains Shire is transferred to Ballarat from respectively, Wannon and Corangamite. Wannon then picks up the balance of the Shire of Colac-Otway plus Winchelsea, the rural end of Surf Coast Shire from Corangamite. Notably, our proposed Wannon is maintained as an east-west coastal Division, running past Portland to the South Australian border. No change is made to Corio. Bendigo’s only change is to bleed a further portion of Macedon Shire into Hawke. Indi loses to Nicholls the town of Euroa. Unfortunately, Mallee’s negative growth forces that Division to gain from Nicholls the SA2 of Lockington-Gunbower, thereby splitting Campaspe Shire. Otherwise, the ALP maintains the current split of Pyrenees and Northern Grampians Shires between Mallee and Wannon; the split of Strathbogie Shire between Nicholls and Indi; Macedon Ranges Shire between Bendigo and Hawke, (formerly McEwen) and finally, Mitchell which would maintain its mostly rural Seymour part in Nicholls, Wallan in Hawke and Kilmore in McEwen.
