  • 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.

  • Mordialloc Bypass Project Report of Peter Kelly
    Mordialloc Bypass Project Report of Peter Kelly 1 Introduction My firm WSP prepared the impact assessment report titled Mordialloc Bypass, Transport Impact Assessment (Report) which is included as Appendix A to the Environment Effects Statement (EES) for the Mordialloc Bypass Project (Project). The role that I had in preparing the Report was directing the development of the report and reviewing the methodology and outputs at a variety of stages throughout the report’s production. Other significant contributors to the Report and their expertise is set out in Section (d) of Appendix A. I adopt the Report, in combination with this document, as my written expert evidence for the purposes of the Mordialloc Bypass Project Inquiry and Advisory Committee's consideration and reporting in respect of the Project. 2 Qualifications and experience Appendix A contains a statement setting out my qualifications and experience, and the other matters in accordance with Planning Panels Victoria's 'Guide to Expert Evidence'. A copy of my curriculum vitae is provided in Appendix B. 3 Further work since preparation of the Report Since the Report was finalised, I have undertaken further work in relation to the submissions received. In particular, the further work included: · Assessment of an alternative Woodlands Drive / freeway access arrangement · Assessments of the intersections of: · Dingley Bypass / Mordialloc Bypass · Governor Road / Mordialloc Bypass, and · Tootal Road / Centre Dandenong Road / Old Dandenong Road / Kingston Drive · Microsimulation modelling of freeway operations. A summary of my findings in relation to this further work is provided in Section 4.3 and Appendices C and D. However, this further work has not caused me to materially change my opinions as expressed in the Report, apart from the preferred arrangement for the Woodlands Drive freeway access, and no amendment is required for the EPRs.
