  • Examining the Association Between Cycling Infrastructure and Cycling
    Examining the association between cycling infrastructure and cycling: Baseline results from INTERACT Victoria By Melissa Tobin A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Kinesiology School of Human Kinetics and Recreation Memorial University of Newfoundland July 2020 St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador Abstract The majority of Canadians are not meeting physical activity guidelines. Implementing infrastructure that supports active transportation is an important intervention to increase population physical activity levels. The INTErventions, Research and Action in Cities Team (INTERACT), has the goal to advance research on the design of healthy and sustainable cities for all. My study is a sub-project of INTERACT and has three main objectives. The first objective is to determine whether participants support the All Ages and Abilities (AAA) Cycling Network. The second objective is to examine the association between exposure to the Pandora protected cycle track and physical activity levels and the third objective is to determine if there are gender differences in overall levels of physical activity. I hypothesized that participants would support the AAA Cycling Network and exposure to the Pandora protected cycle track would be associated with greater overall physical activity levels of residents who cycle at least once a month in Victoria. I also hypothesized that women would have lower levels of physical activity when compared to men. INTERACT recruited 281 people who completed online surveys; 149 of whom wore a Sensedoc (an accelerometer and global positioning system (GPS), for ten days to collect physical activity and spatial location data).

  • Dear Mayor Helps and Council Members, I Am Writing in Response
    Dear Mayor Helps and Council members, I am writing in response to the city budget, because I am concerned that funding is not properly allocated to address the needs of Victoria and its residents. I feel that a disproportionate amount of City money goes toward the Police -- while other city resources are underfunded -- and the police end up doing jobs they are not adequately prepared to do, which is ineffective and inefficient. Police Chief Elsner said in the Time Colonist (September 22, 2014) that “25 to 30 of what we do is actual law enforcement…But the rest of it, 75 or 80% of what we do is all about the social side…mental health, homelessness and addiction issues. That‟s what takes up the vast majority of our resources." Is this an appropriate use of police resources? Over the next few years, the police budget should gradually be re-allocated (not “cut”) to support the development of another set of institutions more appropriate to responding to these social issues in partnership with other local organizations, such as: Social housing (in partnership with the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness) Supervised Consumption Site (in partnership with VIHA) 24-hour mental health crisis team to replace police as first responders to citizens facing mental health crises (in partnership with VIHA). When Chief Elsner reports that 90% of his resources are spent on law enforcement, then City Council will know they have the right size police force doing the right job, and an equally effective and efficient set of institutions with the right training and skills to respond to social issues.

West Trails Strategic Plan 2015 Purpose For Council to consider the Western Metropolitan Region Trails Strategic Plan, as at Attachment 1 to this report. 1. Background The Western Metropolitan Region Trails Strategic Plan (West Trails) is an initiative to improve the connectivity, quality and usage of regional trails in Melbourne’s western region over the next 10 years.

A consultant was appointed to develop a strategic plan in September 2013. This was funded by contributions from each partner. Regular meetings of the steering group to develop the strategic plan were held from November 2013 to September 2015. 2. Consultation Community consultation was undertaken during the development of the strategic plan to identify with the community and bicycle user groups, the challenges in using the current bicycle network.

  • 14341 Question on Notice
    27/04/2021 Parliament of Victoria Question: 14341 QUESTION ON NOTICE — Mr Bull (Gippsland East) to ask the Minister for Resources — With reference to the dispute between Hercules Mining Contractors Pty Ltd and the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) concerning mining licence 5335 for a mine at Cassilis: Why has DEDJTR proceeded with the proposal for EL006726 rather than to process a variation to EL5518, in accordance with the Mining Warden's recommendation that the land covered by EL5518 and the land covered by the former mining licence 5335 should be consolidated into the same mining licence. Answer: The Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) has not granted Exploration Licence 006726. On 7 March 2018, DEDJTR received two exploration licence applications (for EL006726 and for EL006728) for a licence over the land formerly within mining licence 5335. Hercules Mining Contractors Pty Ltd separately lodged an application on 7 March 2018 to vary EL5518 to cover the same area of land. The two exploration licence applications will be ranked in accordance with the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 (MRSDA) to determine the highest-ranking application. Once the highest-ranking application has been determined, a decision will be made as to whether a licence should be granted over the land or, whether EL5518 should be varied to incorporate the land. This decision will be made with consideration given to the purposes and objectives of the MRSDA. TIM PALLAS MP Minister for Resources Attachments: No Attachments Answer Published Date: 05/06/2018 Question: 14342 CONSTITUENCY QUESTION — Mr Hodgett to ask the Minister for Public Transport for the Minister for Small Business — The pressure is on, Speaker.
