A preliminary acoustic assessment has been undertaken for the Station Street/Bondi Road, Bonbeach level crossing removal. Noise emissions will be assessed in accordance with the Passenger Rail Infrastructure Noise Policy and Environment Protection Authority Noise Control Guidelines Publication 1254 for rail operations and construction noise respectively. The design alignment for the project will be acoustically modelled to assess the potential noise emissions from the new rail system, including noise from the passenger and freight rail services. Noise modelling will compare the future rail operation noise with the applicable noise policy criteria to determine if noise mitigation measures need to be considered. Construction noise from typical plant and equipment used for rail construction should be acceptable for daytime use. Evening and night construction works are likely to exceed the applicable noise criteria and, would need to be managed as part of the Environmental Management Framework or equivalent document to ensure noise impacts are avoided, minimised or managed.

  • Transport and Access
    BAYSIDE PLANNING SCHEME 21.09 TRANSPORT AND ACCESS 09/05/2013 C100 Proposed This Clause provides local content to support Clause 18 (Transport) of the State Planning C124 Policy Framework. Overview Bayside is serviced by rail, a tram and buses; however there are large areas of the municipality which rely principally on the private motor vehicle for transport. The eastern boundary of the municipality is well serviced by the Frankston railway line, which has stations at Moorabbin (within Kingston City Council), Highett and Cheltenham. The State Government is currently progressing the establishment of a train station adjacent to the Southland Shopping Centre, an Activity Centre and area identified to support growth. The Sandringham railway line also dissects the northern and central sections of the municipality with stations at Elsternwick (within Glen Eira), Gardenvale, North Brighton, Middle Brighton, Brighton Beach, Hampton and Sandringham. This service does not extend to Black Rock and Beaumaris and these areas rely solely on bus services. Trams are restricted to a single route in Brighton East running along Hawthorn Road, terminating at the Nepean Highway. Bus services are provided throughout the municipality. The Nepean Highway is the major arterial road linking the municipality to the Melbourne CBD to the north and the south eastern suburbs and Mornington Peninsula to the south. There are also a number of primary and secondary arterial roads including Beach Road, North Road, South Road, Centre Road, Bluff Road and Balcombe Road which traverse the municipality. Bayside is serviced by the Sandringham and Frankston railway lines with a total of 9 stations, in addition there are 15 bus routes linking major shopping centres, Monash University, Central Melbourne and other suburbs.

  • Australasian Railway Association Skills Capabilty Study
    AUSTRALASIAN RAILWAY ASSOCIATION SKILLS CAPABILTY STUDY SKILLS CRISIS: A CALL TO ACTION NOVEMBER 2018 FOREWORD We are living through a renaissance of investment in rail. Projects such as Cross River Rail in Brisbane, Inland Rail, Sydney and Melbourne Metros, the Level Crossing Replacement Program, the Metronet project in Perth, rail extensions in South Australia, expansion of rail lines in the Pilbara, and numerous light rail projects in cities across the country, are heralding this renaissance. New Zealand too, is experiencing a deepening focus on rail. But this hasn’t always been the case. Rail investment stagnation, stop-start funding cycles and short term cost cutting have been a feature of the Australian rail sector since the 1980s. And one of the consequences has been the collapse in investment in training and skills development of the people to build our infrastructure and to operate and maintain first class rail services. This is a clear case of market failure. ARA commissioned this Report to undertake a workforce capability analysis based on planned and forecast rail infrastructure development in Australia and New Zealand over the next 10 years, with implications for a range of rail industry skills across construction, manufacturing, operations and maintenance. And to determine strategies to address them. The term supply and demand is well understood in the marketplace. However, as to rail skills in the current investment environment, it is a case of ‘demand and no supply.’ This is the crisis that this Report seeks to address. We welcome the massive investment in all aspects of rail now underway. This is crucial for our economic growth and improving amenity in our cities and regions.
