Infrastructure Strategy December 2020 Victoria’s Draft 30-Year Infrastructure Strategy Volume 2: Appendices About us Infrastructure Victoria is an independent advisory body with three functions: \ preparing a 30-Year infrastructure strategy for Victoria, which is refreshed every three to five years \ providing written advice to government on specific infrastructure matters \ publishing research on infrastructure-related issues. Infrastructure Victoria also supports the development of sectoral infrastructure plans by government departments and agencies. The aim of Infrastructure Victoria is to take a long-term, evidence-based view of infrastructure planning and inform community discussion about infrastructure provision. Infrastructure Victoria does not directly oversee or fund infrastructure projects. Aboriginal acknowledgment Infrastructure Victoria acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country in Victoria and pays respect to their elders past and present, as well as elders of other Aboriginal communities. We recognise that the state’s infrastructure is built on land that has been managed by Aboriginal people for millennia. Contents Appendix A: Pg: Draft recommendations by sector 04 Appendix B: Timing of draft recommendations 08 Appendix C: Methodology 15 Appendix D: Review of 2016 recommendations 28 Appendix E: State of infrastructure 112 Appendix F: Legislative requirements 150 04 Victoria’s Draft 30-Year Infrastructure Strategy Appendix A Draft recommendations by sector This appendix lists the draft recommendations that align with the nine infrastructure sectors listed in the Victorian Infrastructure Plan 2017-22. For the transport sector, we further categorise those relating to public transport; active transport and micro-mobility; roads, parking and private vehicles; and freight. We also include a tenth sector: land use planning, to capture potential changes relating to the land use planning system. Some draft recommendations will appear more than once where they pertain to more than one sector. Vol 2. Appendices – Appendix A 05 01. Transport 1B. Active transport 51.

Despite this, bike 11 riding participation in the state of Victoria, Australia, is low. To inform planning and practice, there is a need to understand 12 the proportion of the population (the ‘near-market’) that are interested in riding a bike, and how this varies across regions. 13 The Geller typology classifies individuals into one of four groups, based on their confidence to ride a bike in various 14 infrastructure types, and frequency of bike riding. The typology has been used at a city, state and country-wide scale, 15 however not at a smaller spatial scale.

  • What It's Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences
    Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute What It’s Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences Georgia Clare Scott This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University April 2018 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Human Ethics The research presented and reported in this thesis was conducted in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) – updated March 2014. The proposed research study received human research ethics approval from the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00262), Approval Number # HURGS-14-14. Georgia Clare Scott 23 April 2018 iii Abstract Sustainability research recognises the role transport plays in shaping cities, and the destructive consequences of automobile dependency. As a low carbon, affordable, healthy and efficient transport mode, cycling necessarily contributes towards making cities more liveable and sustainable. Research thus far, however, has failed to fully engage with the experiential aspect of mobility, missing a window into both the liveability of cities and the success or failure of the transport systems within them. In response, this thesis explores how people’s experiences cycling in urban environments can be understood and used to inform transport policy. Its objectives are to contribute better understandings of urban cycling mobilities, and how such understandings can inform Australian sustainable transport policy, by comparing Western cities of high and low cycling amenity through using a combination of semi-structured and go-along interviews.
