  • Wyndham Pedestrian & Cycle Strategy

    Wyndham Pedestrian & Cycle Strategy

    dd Wyndham Pedestrian & Cycle Strategy Cyclist Feedback, Identified network expansion requirements and missing links Wyndham City Council has received a great deal of feedback on cycling within the municipality. The identified issues were considered in writing the 2019 Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy. The feedback has been grouped under common categories in the tables below, to keep like comments together. Table-1 Safety and Blackspot feedback Location Type Comment Derrimut Road Crossing Points crossings at Sayers and Leakes Roads – but I believe these are going to be dealt with by VicRoads Cycle lane Cycle lane on the Eastern side is in one direction only. It’s a busy Derrimut Road road so lanes on both sides of the road need to be two way. Also, going under the railway bridge near the Princess Highway Obstacles There are many obstacles within the shared paths – e.g. Derrimut SUP Road, adjacent to Aqualink – a no standing sign (I think) way too close to the middle of the Shared path. Cyclists could easily crash into it; Cnr Derrimut Road and Willmott Cres – many signs Derrimut Road obstructing the path – traffic lights, bike path sign (!!), no standing or something. Not at all safe. Also a shared path sign on cnr of Kookaburra and Derrimut – in middle of path instead of off to the side. Kookaburra Ave Cycle Path Paths on Kookaburra Ave have speed cushions in them. At night Obstacles they are invisible (even with bicycle lights). No need – could have treatment similar to Shaw’s Road. Also path disappears before T intersection with Derrimut Road.
  • Environmental Infrastructure Inquiry Submission S157 Received 28/09/2020

    Environmental Infrastructure Inquiry Submission S157 Received 28/09/2020

    Hume City Council – submission to Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into Environmental Infrastructure for Growing Populations Terms of Reference: An inquiry into the current and future arrangements to secure environmental infrastructure, particularly parks and open space, for a growing population in Melbourne and across regional centres to the Environment and Planning Committee for consideration and report no later than 31 December 2020. 1. Introduction Hume City Council welcomes the opportunity to submit into the Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into Environmental Infrastructure for Growing Populations in Victoria. To address the terms of reference for this inquiry Hume City Council submits on three key areas, these are: Section 2 - Community-focussed Open Space Mapping Section 3 - Delivery of effective walking and cycling infrastructure Section 4 - Delivery of Regional Parks Section 5 - Delivery of Waterway Corridors Section 6 - Protecting existing canopy cover in developments Section 7 - Funding opportunities for pipeline projects Section 8 - Addressing issues with the implementation of the Melbourne Strategic Impact Assessment. Section 9 - Implementation of Integrated Water Management For the purposes of this submission, Environmental Infrastructure has been defined to include all passive and active open space, conservation areas and waterway reserves, plus the infrastructure to support and connect those reserves including paths, trails, vegetation, and the management practices to support them. The submission will highlight contemporary policy and implementation concerns that need to be addressed, to pave the way for an integrated, sustainable, and socially responsible approach to environmental infrastructure. Council recently submitted into the Inquiry into Ecosystem Decline – many of the points covered in this submission are rearticulated here, as the issues cross over significantly.
  • Response 1 I Am Writing to You Regarding the Latest Agenda Item for the 23 June Council Meeting Regarding the Trial Transport Projects

    Response 1 I Am Writing to You Regarding the Latest Agenda Item for the 23 June Council Meeting Regarding the Trial Transport Projects

    Response 1 I am writing to you regarding the latest agenda item for the 23 June council meeting regarding the trial transport projects. I have submitted a response for tomorrow's meeting but am messaging you here as my full submission is longer than allowed and seek some further information. The proposed transport, movement and access trials are a good initiative for public safety, health and improving the current road hierarchy, particularly to support cycling. The strategic move of not letting a good crisis go to waste is also appreciated and I fully support these trials in these times. However, a comprehensive analysis of traffic conditions (before and after), community consultation and transparent process must be adhered too. Traffic surveys and evidence to justify their permanency post-trial needs to be transparent and open for discussion via good community consultation. Concerns: Trenerry Crescent closure: - It is expected that this will cause significant delays to local community traffic in the Clifton Hill pocket bordered by Heidelberg Road to the north and Hoddle Street to the west. Without any southern access point, it will divert all traffic towards these major arterials. Whilst I understand this is the desired outcome and will prevent rat-running through this pocket (which there is a substantial amount of), it does require serious consideration of the impact to this community. It will cause significant delays for local traffic which will now be funneled towards these state arterial routes which already experience substantial congestion particularly at peak times. Further, there are 3 main exits for residents from this pocket, being Roseneath, Ramsden and Fenwick.

  • Recreational Activity Surveys During COVID-19 and Comparison with Pre-Lockdown Activity Levels

    Recreational Activity Surveys During COVID-19 and Comparison with Pre-Lockdown Activity Levels

    More people out on bicycles: Recreational activity surveys during COVID-19 and comparison with pre-lockdown activity levels May 2020 Measuring recreational activity in unprecedented times Lockdown in Victoria On 30 March 2020, the Minister for Health and Medical Research signed an Order for stage 3 lockdown measures to be put in place across Australian states, following a national outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The Order, which in Victoria falls under section 200 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act (2008)1, 2, places legally enforceable restrictions on all non-essential gatherings, as a means of minimising the spread of the deadly virus. During the stage 3 restrictions, there are only four reasons for Victorian residents to be outside: • purchasing food and essential supplies; • medical, care or compassionate needs; • exercise; and • work and study if they cannot be undertaken remotely2. How has this affected our recreational activities? An arising question is how these restrictions have affected the recreational needs of residents in Victoria and elsewhere. A recent survey by Bicycle Network3 found that, in response to stage 3 restrictions across Australian states: • 73 per cent [of respondents] are planning to use a bicycle to access essential services (shops, healthcare, work and education) in the coming weeks and months; • 84 per cent of healthcare workers said they would ride bicycles more or the same amount; and • Most respondents (39 per cent) said that they will be riding a bicycle outdoors to get their daily exercise. In addition, emerging data suggests an increase in bicycle purchases during lockdown restrictions4. These findings suggest that, given these increased needs for bicycle-related transport, exercise and recreation; Australian roads and shared paths may be exhibiting major deviations from normal bicycle traffic volumes.

Therefore, the strategy considers opportunities to better cater for the needs of all people who use pathways including people in wheelchairs, parents/carers with prams, young children on scooters, as well as cyclists and walkers. Cycling and especially walking are among Victorian’s most popular activities. Approximately 36% of the population walks and 12% of the population cycles as their preferred form of physical activity. Well-planned, inviting pathways and trails will encourage people to be more active as part of their daily routine and as a result derive some of the social, health and wellbeing, environmental and economic benefits that come with walking and cycling. The strategy recognises that often people walk and cycle for very different reasons and it is important to understand and plan for facilities that support different needs. Therefore the strategy takes into account that people may walk and cycle for health and fitness, recreation, or transport reasons. The strategy provides a framework and principles for the planning, design, improvement and management of Council’s network of pathways and trails. A further objective is to provide a framework for encouraging greater involvement of residents, community organisations, and government in the development of walking, cycling and other pathway related activities and opportunities. The Walking and Cycling Strategy is a strategic document that considers activity and lifestyle trends, industry and government guidelines and standards, partnership opportunities, and the aspirations of residents.
