  • Eastlink to Open on 29 June - Five Months Early
    12 May 2008 EASTLINK TO OPEN ON 29 JUNE - FIVE MONTHS EARLY ConnectEast, the owner and operator of EastLink, yesterday confirmed to the Victorian Government that it will deliver the $2.5 billion motorway on 29 June 2008 – on-budget and five months ahead of time. To celebrate the completion of this landmark Public Private Partnership project and to encourage motorist familiarisation, ConnectEast announced the first four weeks of operation will be toll-free. ConnectEast also revealed plans to host a community open day on Sunday 15 June to give people a once-in-a-lifetime chance to walk, run or cycle on the road before it opens to traffic. Managing Director, John Gardiner, said the opening of EastLink (and the untolled Ringwood Bypass) well ahead of the 30 November contract date demonstrated the capacity of the private sector to accelerate the delivery of massive projects. “Over the life of this construction ConnectEast has averaged $59 million expenditure per month, including five consecutive months when expenditure exceeded $100 million,” Mr Gardiner said. “This demonstrates the capacity of the private sector, with the support of government, to harness all the necessary resources to make big infrastructure projects a reality in the shortest possible time. “EastLink is already generating an economic and population boom in Melbourne’s outer east and south-east, with businesses and residents re-locating to make the most of the motorway. “EastLink will mean safer driving plus time and fuel savings every day for many thousands of Victorians. The road will revolutionise the lives of people living and working in Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs by providing a high- quality uninterrupted north-south transport corridor from Mitcham to Frankston.

  • Outer Melbourne Connect | Special Report October 2008
    • transport • community • industry outer Special Report | October 2008 melbourne outer melbourne connect | special report October 2008 Melbourne is booming. Every week, another 1,200 people call Melbourne home and the Victorian Government now predicts that we will become the nation’s largest city within 20 years. This rapid population growth has strained Melbourne’s transport system and threatens Victoria’s economic prosperity and Melbourne’s liveability. The region feeling the pain the outer most is outer Melbourne, home to over half of Melbourne’s population and set for continued rapid growth. melbourne In 2002, RACV produced a special report titled ‘The Missing Links’, which presented a plan for upgrading transport infrastructure in outer metropolitan Melbourne. transport The Missing Links identified seventy-four critical road and public transport projects and a much needed $2.2 billion community investment. Six years on, only half of these projects have been built or had funds committed to build them. The other industry half remain incomplete and the intervening period of strong population and economic growth has created further pressing demands on our transport system. Melbourne’s liveability is recognised worldwide and RACV wants it to stay this way. For this reason, we have again consulted with state and local governments and listened to Members to identify an updated program of works to meet the needs of people living in and travelling through Melbourne’s outer suburbs. RACV presents Outer Melbourne Connect as a responsible blueprint comprising road improvements, rail line extensions and significant public transport service improvements.Connect provides a comprehensive and connected transport network to address the critical backlog of projects in outer Melbourne.

As examples of environmental infrastructure the Committee includes parks and open space, sporting fields, forest and bushland, wildlife corridors and waterways. The website provided https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/epc-la/inquiry/968 includes a number of links and pdf descriptions in line with responding to pressing environmental concerns which we have already specified in relation to our correspondence to Ministers Wynne and D'Ambrosio beneath which we would appreciate your active support for in the creation of an outstanding nationalo park in Mount Eliza which also has significant research and tourism potential. The following document from the Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) draws attention to the acute shortages of national park so your initiative couldn't come at a better time: https://vnpa.org.au/wp- content/uploads/2017/11/Victorian-Parks-by-Premier.pdf Your direct support in the creation of the National Park in Mount Eliza would be much appreciated . Ihave been advised that Premier Andrews is supportive of/excited about new national parks and that Prime Minister Scott Morrison actually pledged millions for the enhancement of national parks in the northern territory and NSW during the election campaign but Victoria was absolutely neglected.
