The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne's Outer Circle Railway
The Lost Opportunity of Melbourne’s Outer Circle Railway Trevor McKenna, B.A. Dip. Ed. This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (By Research) Faculty of Education and the Arts Federation University P.O. Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria, 3353 Australia Submitted for re-examination 7 December, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines a little known railway line in Melbourne, the Outer Circle Railway (OCR) running from Oakleigh in the south-east to Fairfield in the north. There is great significance to its east-north trajectory, because I will argue, it was conceptualised as a major part of the Melbourne system, for the future; a future that ostensibly lasted only two years, before the economic depression of the 1890s caused it to close in stages. It further brought in many more strands to the Melbourne transport nexus, as it circumnavigated the inner suburbs. I ask the key question ‘was the Outer Circle Railway a lost opportunity’? Though considered one of the great public transport cities of the world, Melbourne with its extensive rail and tramway networks succumbed to the winds of change, embodied by the Fordist principles of private car ownership, freeway building and traffic systems. The public transport budget was cut in the second half of the twentieth century – leaving Greater Melbourne in constant gridlock, in the twenty-first century. I use documentary analysis to examine primary and secondary documents, to comprehend whether the almost immediate denigration of the OCR, by newspapers and most historians, was warranted. -

Page 1 of 122 Report to the Future Melbourne Transport Committee Agenda item 6.6 Bicycle Plan 2016-2020 15 March 2016 Presenter: Geoff Robinson Manager Engineering Services Purpose and background 1. At its meeting of 13 October 2015, the Future Melbourne Committee approved the release of the draft Bicycle Plan 2016-2020 for public comment. 2. Following a period of public engagement, this report presents the revised Bicycle Plan 2016-2020 (the Plan) for approval. The Plan is provided at Attachment 2 to this report. Key issues 3. The Plan has a strong focus on connecting local neighbourhood routes between residential areas, schools, shops and community facilities. It outlines plans to complete major cycling corridors in collaboration with VicRoads and other agencies. It also supports actions to improve safety and the amount of available bicycle parking. An implementation plan is at Attachment 4. 4. 7000 contributions were received from the community on the Participate Melbourne platform in May 2015. These original comments shaped the draft Plan. Further community and stakeholder feedback on the draft Plan itself was received from 143 individuals and 11 agencies including the Victorian Government and the municipalities of Port Phillip and Yarra. The majority of respondents supported the Plan. 5. A summary of feedback is at Attachment 3. Based upon feedback received, the consequential changes made to the Plan are: 5.1. A change to one of the targeted outcomes. The draft plan stated that the City of Melbourne would seek to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injury crashes achieved by 2020 by a total of 10 per cent. -
Updates to Bike Rides Around Melbourne As of 16/5/2013
UPDATES TO BIKE RIDES AROUND MELBOURNE AS OF 16/5/2013 Updates to BRAM3 April 2013 Various recent developments have opened up opportunities both for new rides and for improvements to old rides. Construction of new trails continues. The Peninsula Link Trail is not yet completely open but quite extensive sections can now be ridden. New housing developments with new shared paths have opened up new cycling routes. The opening of two new stations, South Morang and Williams Landing also increases the options for cyclists exploring Melbourne by bike and train. The inclusion of Sunbury in the Met system, meaning easy transport of bikes, opens up a number of ride options. One is a scenic ride around Sunbury taking in the sights such as Rupertswood and the old Sunbury Asylum. There are a few off-road paths but unfortunately their connectivity is not great at present. Another is a ride from Sunbury across country to Watergardens. Yet another is to take a V/Line train to Woodend and to ride from there to Sunbury, with a few ups but lots more downs. Watch this space for more details. Here are some variations and improvements to the old rides: Ride 10 Federation Trail The opening of Williams Landing Station provides another bail out option for those riding the Federation Trail. The station is less than 2km to the south down Palmers Rd from where the trail crosses Sayers Rd. It’s also possible to cross the Princes Fwy safely here, and to join the Skeleton Creek Path 200m to the south and head downstream to connect up with Bay West Ride One. -
Eddington Transport Study
Boroondara Bicycle Users Group - BBUG Boroondara Bicycle Users Group Response to: Eddington Transport Study 5 June 2008 All feedback on the Eddington Transport Study must be submitted by 15 July 2008. Boroondara Bicycle Users Group (BBUG) – Contact: • Julia Blunden [email protected] • Graeme Stone [email protected] Introduction BBUG thanks the State Government and the Department of Infrastructure for providing us with the opportunity to reply to the Eddington Transport Study. BBUG will make this response available on its website. A copy of this response has also been sent to Boroondara City Council and VicRoads. BBUG has the expertise to provide more information, details or help if requested. Referenced documents Investing in transport – overview. New cross city cycle links - Recommendation 7 – page 80 Page 1 of 13 Boroondara Bicycle Users Group - BBUG Executive Summary We note that many of the recommended routes have been proposed for years. Some already exist in more “limited” forms and some are already a work in progress. The recommended routes need the finance as detailed in the report rather than the occasional crumbs they receive at present. It is clear the time has come to spend substantial amounts of money on sustainable transport in Melbourne, as is currently being done in many other major cities around the world. We agree, that as stated by others – it’s time for action and that includes facilitating the sustainable activity of commuting to work by bicycle. The implementation of the majority of the routes could and should start immediately. The routes should be dedicated safe cycling boulevards/highways. -
Agenda of Special Meeting of Council
S237/19 <<20-001>> CITY OF PORT PHILLIP Martin. DATE RECEIVED FOLEYmp Victorian Labor Member _S for Albert Park District REFERRED To: 74:, FILE No. 46 Rouse St, Port Melbourne Victoria 3207 RECORD No: P: (03)96467173 E: [email protected] Mayor Gross Facebook.com/MartinFoleyMP C/O The City of Port Phillip Council Chambers Twitter @MartinFoleyMP lnstagram: martinfoleymp Private Bag 3 wwwxnartinfoley.com.au St Kilda VIC 3182 CC: Peter Smith, CEO Dear Mayor Gross, We write to you in regard to various matters that have been the subject of discussion between your officers and members of the Albert Park Bowls Club Board during the last 3 years. These matters relate to: • The need for the replacement of the club's green carpet playing surface as a result of vandalism and wear and tear with the passage of time. • The upgrade of the clubhouse, which is substandard relative to those clubs with whom Albert Park Bowls Club compete for membership and who have received significant government and council support in recent years. • The club seeking an extension to their lease which is due for renewal in 2023. • Acceptance that, in order for the club to spend capital on the facility, it needs security of tenure and night time security of the green. As you are probably aware club officers are currently consulting with council officers (as well as state government officials) regarding the green replacement which is scheduled to occur between mid- June and end July this year. The club has already submitted a traffic management plan to the council and is currently seeking clarification of the planning permit requirements for the "like for like" replacement of the green (new carpet and supporting subsurface refurbishment). -
