Docklands and Major Projects Committee Report Page 1 of 5 DOCKLANDS AND MAJOR PROJECTS Agenda Item 5.6 COMMITTEE REPORT 7 August 2007 WEBB DOCK RAIL LINK Division Sustainability & Regulatory Services Presenter Geoff Lawler, Director Sustainability & Regulatory Services Purpose 1. To advise the Committee on planning for the reinstatement of the Webb Dock railway line. Recommendation from Management 2. The Docklands and Major Projects Committee resolve that: 2.1. the City of Melbourne host a public information meeting on the Webb Dock Rail Link Environment Report, once it is released by the Port of Melbourne Corporation, to ensure that stakeholders are well informed of the technical issues associated with the proposal. Key Issues 3. The Victorian Government has established a process to consider a proposal by the Port of Melbourne Corporation to reinstate the rail line from the Dynon Rail Terminal through to Webb Dock, which was discontinued in 1996. 4. Webb Dock is mainly used currently for roll-on/roll-off freight between Melbourne and Tasmania, and the import and export of cars. It is the only major terminal in the Port that does not have direct rail access. The Port of Melbourne Corporation’s draft Port Development Plan envisages that Webb Dock will be developed from 2015-2035 to handle 50% of the Port’s international container trade and to be the major terminal for Bass Strait/Coastal freight. It is unlikely that this could happen without reinstatement of a rail option. 5. To avoid the congestion in inner Melbourne that would eventuate from not doing so, long-standing Council policy has been to support the reinstatement of the rail line, on the alignment currently under consideration (i.e. with a river crossing immediately downstream of the Bolte Bridge). Through the adoption of its 2006 Transport Strategy, Moving People and Freight, Council refined its support by stating that any river crossing must be sympathetic to the amenity of Docklands and minimise impact on watercraft accessing Victoria Harbour. 6. The Minister for Planning has appointed an Advisory Committee (Mr Peter Davies) to supervise the production of an Environmental Report by the Port of Melbourne Corporation and then to advise the Minister on the Report, public reaction to it and the Corporation’s responses to public submissions. The purpose of the Environmental Report is to assess potential environmental impacts of the project and how they might be managed. Page 2 of 5 7. The Minister also established a Technical Reference Group to support Mr Davies to ensure that the Corporation undertakes a robust series of technical studies upon which to base the Environmental Report. This Group consisted of various State Government agencies, freight and transport operators, VicUrban and Dockland developers and the City of Melbourne. The Technical Reference Group completed its work in February 2007. 8. The technical studies commissioned for the ER covered air emissions, flora & fauna, greenhouse gas emissions, traffic & transport impact and management, noise & vibration, hydrology, water quality & sedimentation, urban design, social & economic impact assessment, watercraft supply & demand forecasts and rail operational analysis. 9. In relation to the river crossing, the studies addressed two alternatives, both located immediately downstream of the Bolte Bridge: 9.1. The Port of Melbourne’s preference for a low level (8 metre clearance) bascule style bridge (with two opening spans); and 9.2. A shallow tunnel (protruding above the river bed) providing 6 metres clear depth. 10. As Councillors are aware, Docklands stakeholders have raised concern that a bridge will not be sympathetic to the amenity of Docklands and have a deleterious impact on watercraft accessing Victoria Harbour. 11. Once the Port of Melbourne Corporation finalises its Environmental Report, it and the technical studies will be placed on public exhibition for 6 weeks. These studies should enable Council and interested parties to make informed opinions on the matters described above and to make submissions accordingly. 12. After exhibition, the Corporation will have to determine its responses to submissions and Mr Davies will report on all of this to the Minister for Planning. The Minister will then determine any further processes to be followed in Government consideration of the proposal. This may include a planning scheme amendment. Time Frame 13. Council is awaiting final advice from the Port of Melbourne Corporation of the dates for public exhibition of the Environmental Report. Relation to Council Policy 14. A number of previous studies have been undertaken as part of the assessment of the reinstatement of the rail link including the Port Rail Logistics Study in 2000. This study examined alternative routes for both bridge and tunnel crossing at the Yarra River. The current alignment is supported, in general terms by existing Council policy, with the proviso described in the following paragraph. Council has not, at this stage, formed a view on whether the river crossing should be a bridge or a tunnel. 15. The City of Melbourne Transport Strategy: Moving People and Freight (2006) states: “Council supports reinstatement of rail access to Webb Dock but wants any associated river crossing to be sympathetic to the Docklands’ residential and commercial amenity and to minimise impact on watercraft moving to and from Victoria Harbour.”(p75) Finance 16. This report is largely for information purposes. As such it does not raise any significant financial implications. 2 Page 3 of 5 Legal 17. The recommendation from management is to host a public information forum. No direct legal issues arise from the recommendation. 3 Page 4 of 5 Agenda Item 5.6 Docklands and Major Projects Committee 7 August 2007 FINANCE ATTACHMENT WEBB DOCK RAIL LINK There are no significant direct financial implications associated with the recommendations contained in this report.

    MELBOURNE PLANNING SCHEME 21.16 OTHER LOCAL AREAS 05/10/2018 GC81 The following local area plans provide spatial and built form directions for the remaining neighbourhoods of the municipality. 21.16–1 St Kilda Road and South Yarra 29/01/2015 C225 St Kilda Road remains a premier boulevard containing high density office and residential development. The continued development of the area has necessitated the introduction of a wide range of uses and services to support residents, workers and businesses in the area. In St Kilda Road and South Yarra, the educational, institutional and research facilities continue to be supported. As South Yarra is an area of stability with minimal potential for new development, residential amenity has been maintained and the area’s historic character and features have been preserved. Housing . Support residential development on St Kilda Road within its context as a premier office and residential boulevard. Economic development . Support street level convenience retailing and food and drink premises on St Kilda Road to provide for the needs of workers and residents. Ensure that the mix of uses does not prejudice the established character of St Kilda Road as a premier office and residential boulevard. Ensure Domain Road shopping area maintains its role for convenience shopping, neighbourhood facilities and as a neighbourhood focus. Support the ongoing operation and establishment of offices and related commercial developments along St Kilda Road to support its strategic role as a premier office district. Built Environment and Heritage . Ensure development in South Yarra is sensitively designed so that it maintains the generally low scale nature of heritage streetscapes and buildings.

  • Economic Analyses of the Port of Melbourne
    Economic Analyses of the Port of Melbourne A report by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the Department of Treasury and Finance and the Department of Infrastructure Foreword The Departments of Treasury and Finance and Infrastructure commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers to undertake a study to investigate and assess the economic contribution to the Victorian and Australian economies of the Port of Melbourne, and industries directly related to the Port. The study presents the findings of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ analysis and details the effects of a number of scenarios, particularly the economic benefits accruing from the proposed Port Phillip Bay Channel Deepening Project. The study conforms to the methodological framework adopted by the Commonwealth Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics to value the activities of Australian maritime ports. Part 1 of the study publishes the “base case” analysis and modelling, undertaken using conservative data and economic assumptions. The study draws upon economic modelling undertaken by Monash University’s Centre of Policy Studies. In particular, the modelling reports the differences in the long term economic impacts of either proceeding or not proceeding with key port infrastructure, specifically the Channel Deepening Project. Part 2 is a supplementary study that reports the outcome of sensitivity analysis which considers a broader range of data and economic assumptions, and captures the benefits accruing from port infrastructure developments in addition to the Channel Deepening Project. The study also reports on the aggregate findings of a series of case studies of eleven key business customers of the Port of Melbourne. The study describes in general terms the relationship between the businesses and the Port, and identifies the separate contribution of these businesses to the Victorian and Australian economies.
