  • The Suburban Rail Loop: 50 Billion Reasons Why (Or Why Not)?
    Presentation to VPELA Seminar 05/03/2019 The Suburban Rail Loop: 50 Billion Reasons Why (or Why Not)? Peter Tesdorpf - Rail Futures Institute 1 What is Rail Futures? Rail Futures Institute 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, urban planners and economists. 2 Successful Outcomes • InterCity Regional Rail Plan - blueprint for Victorian regional rail to 2040. • Government announcements to date for airport rail align substantially with RFI’s AIRTRAIN proposal. • Government’s Western Rail Plan, Ballarat, Gippsland and other line upgrades align well with RFI recommendations. • Many RFI InterCity proposals reflected in Victorian Coalition regional rail policy. 3 4 5 6 7 WHY WE NEED THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN • Unprecedented population growth not seen since the 1850s Gold Rush. • Highest growth rate of Western cities. • Rapid urban densification occurring in inner and middle suburbs • Extensive outer urban growth areas lacking high quality public transport • Melbourne facing a transport crisis – roads, trains, trams near capacity • Car dependency levels becoming unsustainable • Our trams among the world’s slowest – operating well below their potential • We have a land use plan but no transport plan – as mandated by the Transport Integration Act. 8 Growth has outpaced transport network (1) Original radial train and tram network has not kept pace with Melbourne’s growth…..started falling behind from the late 1950s. The network was good for a city of 2-3 million, but not for now and the future, as these figures illustrate: • 88% of the area and 92% of the population of Melbourne’s inner area (where there is a partial grid network) is covered by high capacity (rail) public transport.

  • Community Appraisal of Disability Access at Railway Stations in the City of Yarra
    Community Appraisal of Disability Access at Railway Stations in the City of Yarra Disability Advisory Committee D17/191767 ` Appraisal Reporting 2015 - 2017 PREAMBLE This project has been instigated and guided by the Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) at Yarra City Council (YCC). The significance of this report is the provision of evidence on issues of disability access to the railway stations gathered by “true experts” in access appraisals through their lived experience of sensory and/or physical disability. This report came to fruition due to an extraordinary determination, numerous visits and tireless data collection by project masterminds Mary Rispoli and David Brant (Community Representatives on the DAC). The engineering expertise, on-site assistance and data verification by Yarra’s Traffic Engineer, Warwick Middleton, were of utmost importance in their work. Generous assistance of DAC member Martin Leckey and former member of DAC Margaret Bayly added to the success. The advice and assistance of Council Officers Marta Rokicki, Pia Borghesi, Nopporn Jittasilp and Simon Exon in respect of data classification and analysis, content, formatting and editorials is also gratefully acknowledged. The case study provided by the Summer Foundation evidencing safety issues has demonstrated the urgency for action towards improvements for equal access to train commuting. A Yarra resident, who identifies himself as Bily, kindly shared his boarding experience in his electric wheelchair, which adds to the richness of this report. Special thanks are directed to the Yarra City Council for endorsing this report and to Public Transport Victoria (PTV) for consultative remarks in the process, and for the opportunity to put forward this report.
