It needs to grasp this unique opportunity to provide capacity for the extra public transport services Victoria needs. Integrating our regions and growth areas with Melbourne and the Airport Bringing together an unrivalled team of Melbourne Airport, Southern Cross Station, Metro Trains Australia and fund manager IFM Investors, our proposed partnership with government would enable a $15 billion investment in Victoria’s rail network. Our proposal to build 27 kilometres of new, dedicated tracks from Southern Cross Station to Melbourne Airport via Sunshine would not only enable the premium airport rail services we know passengers expect – it would unlock critical new capacity in Victoria’s rail network to get more people onto trains and help relieve our city’s growth pressures. Our proposal would deliver: World-class airport rail tailored Critical capacity and Future rail network for customers connection upgrades to growth opportunities Victoria’s rail network A dedicated, customer Long-term solution that can focused rail service seamlessly A new ‘Sunshine Express Link’ unlock ‘State shaping’ future integrated from Southern Cross builds critical network capacity rail opportunities for new and Station to Melbourne Airport to run more and faster regional faster services to Victoria’s via Sunshine, connecting all trains on new tracks linking regions and Melbourne’s Victorian rail services to the Southern Cross Station to suburbs airport Sunshine Station Over 4000 local and international travellers in Victoria have told us they expect: A premium customer A competitive The right price: Access from home: experience: travel time: a ticket price of 93% of outbound a comfortable journey needs to be up to $20 will attract travellers originate on fit-for-purpose reliable and under more customers, from home, even for trains that allow 20 minutes consistent with business trips so room for luggage and SkyBus and other connections from avoid peak commuter Australian airport across the network impacts rail links are critical Premium airport express for visitors and all Victorians Reliable travel times Trains 24/7 Fair Custom-built under 20 minutes every 10 minutes ticket price Airport trains AIRPORT Airport A new Airport Airport access Cuts 30-50 minutes connections through station integrated with only one off Airport trips for Sunshine for with the terminals interchange for Geelong, Ballarat Geelong, Ballarat, Melbourne’s and Bendigo Bendigo and the south-east west Transformative rail network capacity and connections Cuts 10 minutes off Transport super Capacity for Cuts 15,000 regional rail trips to hubs at Southern 10,000 extra vehicles a day the city Cross Station and peak hour trips on from roads in Sunshine Wyndham Vale line Melbourne’s north and west x16 Attracts Reduces Capacity for up to Reduces carbon 12,000 more overcrowding on the 16 more regional emissions by residents Werribee line trains per hour from 100,000 tonnes and 13,000 more by 2000 passengers Southern Cross by getting people jobs in the west each peak hour Station out of cars and onto trains AirRail Melbourne: the world-class What’s next Airport Rail Link Victorians expect Our proposal is currently being assessed by the AirRail Melbourne brings together expertise from Victorian Government under the Market-Led some of Victoria’s biggest transport providers: Proposal Guideline.

We’ve been looking for some time at the best way to deliver a premium Airport rail service, and we’ll be talking with the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments about what’s needed to finally get the Melbourne Airport Rail Link off the ground. Delivering an Airport Rail Link offers a fair way to invest superannuation funds in a project that will benefit all Victorians - under the AirRail Melbourne proposal, one in two working Victorians will ‘own’ this iconic infrastructure via their superannuation. airrailmelbourne.com.au.

The Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) has conducted an airspace review within a 15 nautical mile (NM) radius of Avalon Airport to determine if the airspace remains fit for purpose. The review examined the airspace architecture, classifications, procedures and infrastructure from the surface to 8,500 feet (FT) above mean sea level (AMSL). The previous aeronautical study specifically for Avalon was conducted in 2008.1 This airspace review applies CASA’s regulatory philosophy which considers the primacy of air safety, whilst taking into account the environment, security, cost and is consistent with the Australian Airspace Policy Statement 2018 and the Minister’s Statement of Expectations. A multifaceted approach was used in conducting this review, including quantitative and qualitative analysis consisting of: • Aerodrome traffic data; • Airspace design; • Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) incident data; and • Stakeholder consultation.

Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia.
