A summary of what we heard from the workshops is available in the RPS Workshop Summary report available at yoursay.infrastructurevictoria.com.au/ports. 8 Infrastructure Victoria Second Container Port Advice What we heard Key themes from feedback • There is sufficient yard space at the Port of Melbourne and submissions to support much more capacity. • There is the possibility of developing the Port of There was broad support for our approach and the key Melbourne land for residential or commercial uses in factors we are considering as we prepare our advice. the long term.

  • Principal Freight Network – Submission to Consultation Via: [email protected]
    Friday 18 December 2020 Principal Freight Network – Submission to consultation Via: [email protected] To whom it may concern The Committee for Geelong provides strategic leadership and influence to leverage the economic and social prosperity of our city-region. An independent, non-partisan, membership-based, not for profit organisation, the CfG works collaboratively with an authoritative group of stakeholders and influencers to design Geelong’s best future. Please consider this document as the Committee for Geelong’s submission to the consultation regarding the Principal Freight Network development process. If you have any questions please contact me on [email protected] or M: 0413241033 Kind regards Jennifer Cromarty, CEO Committee for Geelong Submission - 1 Recommendations 1. There is a need to undertake integrated transport planning in Geelong that considers longer term needs with consideration of current and future transport modes, noting that such study will provide a sound foundation for a whole of G21 integrated transport strategy undertaken at a later date. 2. Note that two Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) studies should be undertaken. a) One ITP focussing on the Geelong Port precinct (including associated industrial areas), led by the Department of Transport / Victorian Regional Channels Authority (VRCA), and b) The other focussed on the CBD and urban/regional environs led by the Dept of Transport / City of Greater Geelong. 3. That both ITP’s will be overseen and supported by a steering committee led by State Government to ensure integration, alignment and consistency of the ITP inputs and outputs. As noted above, the outputs would be key inputs into a (next stage) G21 Integrated Transport Strategy to provide a cohesive transport and land use planning framework for the entire G21 region.

Sheep and cattle in vast numbers were raised for their wool, skins and meat. To a lesser degree pigs and poultry supplemented the meat supply. Thousands of cattle, and tens of thousands of sheep were processed through the stock markets every week, and meat became a regular on the family dinner plate. During the 1880-90s Geelong was a main port for exporting frozen meat. A huge meat packaging works was built at Corio Quay in North Geelong to prepare the meat ready for shipment. The trade was developed after experiments in refriger- ation were conducted by well-known Geelong identity James Harrison. The frozen cuts of meat, including lamb, mutton, beef and pork realised about 4d. a pound (9c/kg) when sold in London up to four months after leaving Geelong. However, refrigerated meat was not available on the streets of Geelong itself. As can be seen from the photo above, R.D. Clement’s butcher shop, located in Spring Street, Geelong West, left a lot to be desired when it came to hygiene.
