GOALS AND OBJECTIVES • To develop a market-oriented approach supplying quality, integrated services where they will best satisfy travel needs. • To ensure that a specified level of service is provided with maximum cost efficiency. • To improve patronage and the economic viability of services by effective management of assets and realistic fare structures. • To develop new modes of transport to meet changing conditions. • To ensure passenger and staff safety in all areas. • To provide a satisfYing work environment with rewarding and developing employment opportunities. • To maintain levels and quality of staff appropriate to the services supplied. • To exercise responsibility to the community through consultation with Government and S(~nsitivity to community values. 8 During the past 12 months, the Metropolitan Transit CHAIRMAN'S Authority has continued to improve the service it provides to Melbourne people and the manner in which it provides those REMARKS services. Major works have been carried out on the tram and train networks, with considerable expansion of the bus network also undertaken. Work on Melbourne's North-South Transit link commenced and is progressing well. In the year ahead, The Met must persist with its endeavour to provide greater service. It must also ensure that as an organisation it continues to monitor its own effectiveness and search for more ways to improve efficiency. In the current economic climate, the public rightly expects the greatest possible return for its transport dollar. To this end, The Met has instigated a major program to explore all avenues throughout the organisation where improvements can be made. Improvements in efficiency with which The Met can deliver its services can only encourage more people to use public transport, enhancing the future of The Met and its employees. Russel lngersoll 9 MANAGING Melbourne's public transport system is becoming a show­ place for the development of efficient transport systems overseas. DIRECTOR'S The Authority continued during the year with a series REVIEW of initiatives which pave the way for an exciting future. During the year, the final stage of the Bundoora tram extension was completed and opened by the Premier on 23 April 1987, providing an arterial service to the major growth corridor around Plenty Road. The third rail track between Caulfield and Moorabbin is now completed providing reduced travel time for 30,000 commuters each working day. In February, the Government announced an $8 million program to increase bus services in outer metropolitan areas where needs had become significant. These new services are being gradually phased in and will be operational by Christmas 1987. Vehicle acquisition programs continue. Some 79 of95 'Comeng' airconditioned train sets were delivered by June 1987. Old blue 'Harris' carriages are being progressively scrapped as these new modern trains are acquired. The program to acquire 70 'A' Class rigid trams has been completed. These replaced old trams. In May, the Minister announced the letting of a contract to Comeng to construct 130 airconditioned light rail vehicles at a rate of 20 per year. The light rail vehicles will be used on more heavily patronised routes providing improved travelling comfort. The first 20 vehicles however, will provide services on the new North-South Light Rail System. This project will replace St. Kilda and Port Melbourne rail line services with a light rail system operating through Bourke Street in the city and along the East Brunswick tram route. In May, a contract was signed with M.A.N. Automotive (Australia) Pty. Ltd. for the construction oflOO airconditioned buses for The Met's bus fleet. These will be delivered over the next three years, replacing older vehicles in the fleet and providing additional services to meet demand. The Authority continues to improve on-time running and service delivery targets. In particular, a number of major 'catch­ up' programs to improve the quality of the infrastructure continue. The electrical overhead rehabilitation program will continue untill988/89. During 1986/87, major track upgrading works were also undertaken. Major improvements in train reliability will occur with the decentralisation of maintenance facilities from Jolimont. The Jolimont workshops were built over 60 years ago, are poorly located and have difficulty coping with the highly sophisticated techniques needed for the maintenance of today's modern train fleet. 10 The decentralisation project will also release up to 49 hectares of valuable land on the edge of the central business district.

No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process.

  • APPENDIX a – Rail Manufacturing in Victoria
    Rail Manufacturing in Victoria Summary of key points • Approximately 1000 people are employed directly by the major rail rolling stock manufacturers in Victoria and another 5,000 to 10,000 employed in their supply chain. • Rail rolling stock manufacturing is directly influenced by State Government procurement policy and purchasing decisions. Victorian Government local content rules are weak compared to interstate and international examples. In recent years, the New South Wales and Victorian Governments have collectively awarded $3.8 billion worth of contracts to overseas manufacturers. • The Victorian Transport Plan commits to $3.6 billion in new investment in rail rolling stock over 4 years. Manufacturing 50 % of these new vehicles in Victoria would create 2,250 full- time jobs directly and another 5,400 – 6,300 full-time jobs indirectly in the supply chain. • A strong rail manufacturing sector could provide thousands of jobs for retrenched automotive workers as long as the training system was made more flexible and relevant to industry needs. • Ongoing investment in local manufacturing would ensure the continued existence of a skilled workforce and provide a solid platform for expanded export opportunities. Once local manufacturing capacity is allowed to erode it is difficult, if not impossible to regain. Introduction Victoria is facing the twin challenges of climate change and the global financial crisis. Already the economic downturn has cost thousands of Victorian jobs, many in the manufacturing sector and expectations are for unemployment to rise further in the coming year. At the same time, the impacts of climate change and peak oil will be felt most by low income and disadvantaged Victorians, particularly those living on the outskirts of our cities.

A number of external factors potentially impact on the network each day, such as variable station dwell times, driver availability, minor vandalism and freight movements.

ISSN 1440-4788 The decision to build the first railway in Queensland from Ipswich to the Darling Downs meant that railway workshops were required at Ipswich. The development of the Ipswich Railway Workshops site began with the original Ipwich Workshops site of 1864 which was adjacent to the Bremer River at North Ipswich. The first two major workshop buildings were iron and zinc structures imported from England in pre-fabricated form. Over the next few years, additional buildings including a brick store were constructed by local contractors.
