  • Will the $50B Suburban Rail Loop Shape the Melbourne We Want?
    WILL THE $50B SUBURBAN RAIL LOOP SHAPE THE MELBOURNE WE WANT?

SGS Economics and Planning Pty Ltd ACN 007 437 729 www.sgsep.com.au Offices in Canberra, Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney 01 INTRODUCTION WILL THE $50 BILLION PROPOSED SUBURBAN RAIL LOOP HELP SHAPE THE MELBOURNE WE WANT? In late August 2018, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews proposed a $50 billion suburban rail loop connecting all major rail lines from east to west via Melbourne Airport. Due for completion in 2050, theSuburban Rail Loop will connect every major Melbourne railway line – proposed stops include Werribee, Sunshine, Melbourne Airport, Broadmeadows, Fawkner, Reservoir, Bundoora, Heidelberg, Doncaster, Box Hill, Burwood, Glen Waverley, Monash, Clayton and Cheltenham. Heralded as the biggest public transport project in Australian history by the state government, the massive project aims to respond to Melbourne’s groaning road and rail system and will potentially be the most extensive rail system in Australian history. The first round of strategic planning for the Suburban Rail Loop was put together by Development Victoria with detailed engineering plans and a business case yet to be completed. In this article, we explore what makes a city-shaping project and whether the suburban rail loop has the potential to transform Melbourne into the city we want.

  • MCT) and Light Rail Plan
    DRAFT 59 Rail Futures Inc THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN Moving People in a City of 8 Million 25 May 2019 This paper has been prepared by Rail Futures Incorporated in the public interest. Rail Futures Inc is an independent non-partisan group formed to advocate cost effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, planners and economists. Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-2050, May 2019 Version 59 - DRAFT FOR COMMENT Rail Futures Institute 1 Foreword Melbourne once had one of the world’s best public transport systems. The forethought and planning of Victorians more than a century ago, and their capacity to value the welfare of Victorians of the future -us - as highly as their own, helped make Melbourne one of the world’s economically most productive and liveable cities. For the past few generations, myopia, carelessness and excessive valuation of the present over the future have been squandering that wonderful legacy. The economic and social life of this city will be deeply impaired by barriers to movement of people around the city unless chronic underinvestment over recent generations is remedied. The Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-50 demonstrates the way to correct the mistakes of recent generations, and that some contemporary Victorians are up to the challenge. The Report is comprehensive, creative and authoritative. It is an excellent foundation for rebuilding Melbourne to secure its position as one of the world’s most successful cities. Melbourne is growing more rapidly than any other large city in the developed world.

  • Public Transport Advocacy Statement Will Be Used 11
    Public Transport Advocacy Statement June 2016 Contents Executive Summary 3 Public Transport Advocacy Actions 5 How the Public Transport Advocacy Statement will be used 11 Appendix 1: Public Transport Advocacy Actions Summary 12 Appendix 2: Current Public Transport Services Within Bayside 15 2 Executive Summary Within Victoria, Public Transport Victoria is the State government agency responsible for the coordination of public transport. While Council can improve connectivity between walking, cycling and public transport and improve the street environment around public transport stops (including footpath quality, pram ramps, lighting, seating etc), its main role is one of advocacy. To be an effective advocate, Council needs to have a clear and justified position around what improvements are required to the public transport system in Bayside to achieve its transport vision. This Public Transport Advocacy Statement (PTAS) identifies the proposed advocacy actions that Council will advocate for on behalf of the Bayside community. The PTAS for Bayside City Council draws its approach from the Bayside Integrated Transport Strategy which was adopted by Council in June 2013. The PTAS is a living document that will be reviewed every four years to ensure that the advocacy actions relating to public transport within the municipality remain relevant. Any other advocacy actions that may arise prior to the review of the PTAS, for example, as a result of a Council resolution or proposed changes to the public transport network within the municipality, will be added to the PTAS if necessary. How the Public Transport Advocacy Statement will be used Through the development of relationships with State government agencies and other councils, Council will use the advocacy actions identified within the PTAS to work constructively with the State government and public transport providers in order to improve public transport within and through the municipality.

  • Bayside City Council Public Transport Advocacy Statement August 2013
    Bayside City Council Public Transport Advocacy Statement August 2013 Content 1.0 What is the role of the Public Transport Advocacy Statement 1 2.0 Feedback from the Bayside Community 8 3.0 Challenges for Bayside 12 4.0 Advocacy Actions and Challenges Requiring Further Analysis 21 5.0 Next Steps 23 1.0 What is the role of the Public Transport Advocacy Statement? In April 2013, Bayside City Council adopted the Bayside Integrated Transport Strategy (ITS). The ITS, as part of its recommendations, identifies the need for Council to develop a Public Transport Advocacy Statement (PTAS). The ITS recommends that ‘Council develops a Public Transport Advocacy Statement based on identified gaps in service and infrastructure provision, which are beyond Council’s control, to advocate for deliverable improvements for the needs of Bayside residents and visitors.’ A key point made by the ITS is that the public transport system is often the responsibility of other agencies, such as Public Transport Victoria and Department of Transport. While Council can improve connectivity between walking, cycling and public transport and improve the street environment around public transport stops (including footpath quality, pram ramps, lighting, seating etc), its main role is one of advocacy. By further developing its relationships with State Government agencies and other councils, Bayside City Council can effectively advocate for more frequent and reliable transport services, greater safety at stops and stations, and the delivery of a more integrated transport network within the municipality for the benefit of the Bayside community. To be an effective advocate, Council needs to have a clear, justified position around what improvements are required to the public transport system in Bayside to achieve its transport vision.

  • A Qualitative Evaluation of a Proposed Metro Map for Melbourne's
    A qualitative evaluation of a proposed metro map for Melbourne’s underground system. William Cartwright School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences at RMIT University, Australia Abstract When cities develop a rail network – above or under ground – this is usually accompanied by the publication of a metro map. The map is an essential adjunct, produced and provided to commuters to facilitate informed use of the system. It is generally agreed that the exemplar metro map is that of the London Underground, designed by Harry Beck, in 1931. Beck’s design principles have been copied, modified and adopted by numerous public transport bodies, when producing maps of their own system. His map is regarded as a design classic, and used as the lodestone when judging the effectiveness of other metromaps. Recently, Public Transport Victoria (PTV) developed a new design for a metromap for the rail system for Melbourne, Australia. This design is greatly based on Beck’s design ideas. As part of the press release, PTV sought passenger feedback on its proposed new design. It is refreshing to see that an organisation like Public Transport Victoria has taken the initiative to implement a new design, and to seek public feedback on this design. However, is this new design effective, or just ‘more of the same’? Is the map no different, and perhaps no better, than previous maps of the Melbourne metropolitan rail system, or a great improvement on what was previously published? Are we just going around in circles? This paper provides the results of an evaluation of this proposal for a new map for the Melbourne metropolitan rail system.

  • Building Suburban Rail Loop
    FACT SHEET BUILDING SUBURBAN RAIL LOOP The Andrews Labor Government will get on with the Suburban Rail Loop – the biggest transport project in Australian history that will connect our suburbs and our state. Our transport system was built a century ago – designed to get people from their homes to jobs in Melbourne’s CBD. But as we’ve grown, our state has changed. Melbourne’s suburbs have expanded, and jobs and services have decentralised to centres across Melbourne’s middle and outer suburbs. As we continue to grow, demand on the transport network in and out of the CBD will continue to fill our roads and our trains. To keep up with our growing population, create more jobs, help families get where they need to be, and make Melbourne a truly world-class city, our transport system needs overhauling. The Suburban Rail Loop will transform how people move around Melbourne – connecting people directly to jobs, hospitals, universities, and the airport without having to travel in to the CBD. The underground train network will circle Melbourne’s suburbs from Cheltenham to Melbourne Airport, with 12 new underground stations connecting our southern, eastern, and northern suburbs. From the Airport, Labor’s new Melbourne Airport Rail Link will connect it to Sunshine, with the loop completed via a new connection to the Werribee line. It will be the biggest transport project in Australian history, giving Melbourne a modern orbital public transport network the likes of London, New York, and Paris. In just four years, Labor has delivered the big road and rail projects our state needs for today.
