  • Advisory. Research. Valuations. Projects
    charterkc.com.au ADVISORY. RESEARCH. VALUATIONS. PROJECTS. INTRODUCTION Melbourne continues to emerge as a city of international significance. It was ranked as the world’s most liveable city for seven consecutive years between 2011-2017 and was ranked second in 2018 and 2019. Melbourne contains two universities ranked in the top 100 global universities. Victoria, the second-largest economy in Australia, contracted by -0.5% over FY 19/20 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the year to October 2020 the total number of people employed in Victoria fell by 124,600. Broad based industry shutdowns over the August – October period as a result of a second wave of COVID-19 infections caused a further contraction in the Victorian economy. As a result Victoria’s economic recovery is likely to be slower than that of other Australian states. DEMAND CONSIDERATIONS Victoria is the fastest-growing state in Australia and has recorded the highest population growth rate since Q3-2015. The majority of this growth has occurred within metropolitan Melbourne. Victoria in Future 2019 projections forecast that over the 2016 – 2051 period metropolitan Melbourne will house an additional 1.57 million households. Recent population growth across metropolitan Melbourne has been underpinned by high levels of overseas migration. The current border restrictions in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic will result in population growth falling below that forecast in the short term. SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS Melbourne’s housing stock is predominantly represented by detached housing; however, policy aspirations aim to achieve greater levels of higher density dwellings to accommodate future population growth.

  • Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback
    Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback We have received a great deal of feedback already on cycling within Wyndham. We have considered these items when writing the strategy so far and will include them in an appendix contained in the final version of the Strategy. The appendix list will inform Wyndham City’s future infrastructure planning and capital works budgets, and any advocacy to State and Federal Governments for cycle infrastructure funding. We have included this list so that all involved in the consultation know what other community members have provided as well as what is being considered as input into the strategy. The responses have been grouped under common categories to keep like comments together. Safety/Blackspots Comments include: If it felt safer to ride - the traffic is extremely scary, sometimes. I prefer to have dedicated bicycle only or shared paths for safety reasons and for a relaxed enjoyable ride. I believe more people will be into cycling in Wyndham Vale if such dedicated bike trials exists. Tarneit Rd – at some points the cycle path is in service roads, and cyclists who are travelling straight ahead inexplicably have to give way to motorists who are turning left. Derrimut Rd – crossings at Sayers and Leakes Roads – but I believe these are going to be dealt with by VicRoads Derrimut Rd – Cycle lane on the Eastern side is in one direction only. It’s a busy road so lanes on both sides of the road need to be two way. Also, going under the railway bridge near Princes Hwy – the shared path is almost unusable and frequently covered in glass.

Services tailored for the needs of impose new tolls on regional and suburban passengers many trips. Extra rail capacity is vital. must be planned for and locked in. The Victorian and Commonwealth Government spent $4.2 billion building the Regional Rail Link so that trains from Geelong and other regional cities could run to Southern Cross without being delayed by suburban trains. No sooner was it finished than the RRL effectively became a suburban line itself, serving the mushrooming suburbs in Wyndham, with new stations at Tarneit and Wyndham Vale. More new suburban stations are planned. Instead of speeding Geelong line services, V/Line's VLocity trains now make additional stops and are often crammed with both regional and suburban passengers. Geelong line users depend on the railway for access to jobs, health and educational services, and much else. They need their railway fixed — and both short term and longer term solutions are needed.
