  • Assessment of Transport Corridors 9
    PaRt 3: assessment of tRansPoRt CoRRiDoRs 9. Regional Rail link (west of weRRibee to DeeR PaRk) The proposal for the Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park is being planned in an integrated manner with the changes to Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary, the Outer Metropolitan Ring / E6 Transport Corridor and the preservation of grasslands areas in Melbourne’s west. The Regional Rail Link can allow urban growth areas in Melbourne’s west to be served by high-quality public transport infrastructure early on in their development. It is of strategic importance to Victoria in achieving its wider transport planning vision as outlined in The Victorian Transport Plan and urban growth planning as outlined in Melbourne 2030 and Melbourne @ 5 million. 9.1 Understanding the Corridor The Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park is a 30 kilometre long section of up to 50 kilometres of the rail project linking the Melbourne-Geelong railway west of Werribee to Southern Cross Station via the Melbourne-Ballarat railway, connecting at Deer Park. The other section of the Regional Rail Link uses the existing rail corridors between Southern Cross Station and Deer Park. Both sections of the overall Regional Rail Link can be developed independently of each other, although both are proposed to be developed together to reduce construction times and ensure overall project benefits are realised as early as possible. 9.2 assessment The selection and assessment process to determine the alignment for the Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park involved: > Preparing route concepts to identify a broad range of options considering engineering constraints and benefits.

  • 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.

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.
