Heritage Citation Report
HERITAGE CITATION REPORT Name Argo Street Bridge Address Argo Street SOUTH YARRA Significance Level A2 Place Type Road Bridge Citation Date 2013 Argo Street Bridge Recommended VHR No HI No PS Yes Heritage Protection History and Historical Context Stonnington Railways Rail travel was introduced to Victoria in the 1850s by private companies, including the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company, who opened a line from the Finders Street to St Kilda in 1857. In 1859-60, this line was extended to Brighton by the St Kilda and Brighton Railway Company, via a loop line to a Windsor (originally known as Chapel Street Station). The loop line was conveyed across St Kilda Road on a timber bridge.[1] In 1858, the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company began work on a line from Princes Bridge Railway Station to Windsor. The first stage from Princes Bridge to a temporary station at Punt Road, Richmond opened for public traffic in February 1859.[2] An extension to Cremorne, on the north bank of the Yarra, was opened in December 1859.[3] In 1860. the railway line was carried across the Yarra on an iron bridge to stations at Gardiner's Creek Road (now South Yarra station), Greville Street (now Prahran station) and Chapel Street (now Windsor station).

Draft Amendment Documents for Planning Scheme Amendment BAYSIDE PLANNING SCHEME
Attachments to Council Report 18 September, 2018 Highett Structure Plan Review Draft Amendment Documents for Planning Scheme Amendment BAYSIDE PLANNING SCHEME 21.02 BAYSIDE KEY ISSUES AND STRATEGIC VISION 17/11/2016 C124 21.02-1 Municipal profile 17/11/2016 C124 Bayside City Council is located eight kilometres south east of Melbourne. The municipality is largely characterised by its proximity to Port Phillip Bay and its 17 kilometres of coast line. It is this proximity to the coast that has been most influential in the development of Bayside, both historically and today. Bayside was originally settled in 1841 and used for agricultural purposes, however with the 1850’s boom associated with the gold rush, it soon emerged as a popular destination for holiday makers and day trippers from Melbourne, including many wealthy citizens who constructed grand homes on large allotments with substantial gardens. This early settlement, particularly in the northern part of the municipality has influenced the development of Bayside today and many of the features and buildings of that period remain and have heritage significance. This historic settlement also influenced the coastal areas around Beaumaris, which developed a more low scale development and retained a significant portion of the coastal vegetation that defines the southern parts of the municipality. Development of Bayside has historically centred around defined ‘villages’ or activity centres which are a focus for retail, entertainment, employment and are accessible by public transport. This development pattern continues today. Each of these ‘villages’ has a defined character which is highly regarded by the local community. The remainder of the residential areas are focused around larger allotments, enabling the establishment of private gardens which have matured and now dominate streetscapes. -
Transport and Access
BAYSIDE PLANNING SCHEME 21.09 TRANSPORT AND ACCESS 09/05/2013 C100 Proposed This Clause provides local content to support Clause 18 (Transport) of the State Planning C124 Policy Framework. Overview Bayside is serviced by rail, a tram and buses; however there are large areas of the municipality which rely principally on the private motor vehicle for transport. The eastern boundary of the municipality is well serviced by the Frankston railway line, which has stations at Moorabbin (within Kingston City Council), Highett and Cheltenham. The State Government is currently progressing the establishment of a train station adjacent to the Southland Shopping Centre, an Activity Centre and area identified to support growth. The Sandringham railway line also dissects the northern and central sections of the municipality with stations at Elsternwick (within Glen Eira), Gardenvale, North Brighton, Middle Brighton, Brighton Beach, Hampton and Sandringham. This service does not extend to Black Rock and Beaumaris and these areas rely solely on bus services. Trams are restricted to a single route in Brighton East running along Hawthorn Road, terminating at the Nepean Highway. Bus services are provided throughout the municipality. The Nepean Highway is the major arterial road linking the municipality to the Melbourne CBD to the north and the south eastern suburbs and Mornington Peninsula to the south. There are also a number of primary and secondary arterial roads including Beach Road, North Road, South Road, Centre Road, Bluff Road and Balcombe Road which traverse the municipality. Bayside is serviced by the Sandringham and Frankston railway lines with a total of 9 stations, in addition there are 15 bus routes linking major shopping centres, Monash University, Central Melbourne and other suburbs. -

Managing the Performance of Rail Franchisees Recorded
This presentation provides an overview of the Victorian Auditor-General’s report Managing the Performance of Rail Franchisees. 1 Public transport is an essential service for many Victorians, and is critical to the state’s economic development. Public Transport Victoria (PTV) manages the contracts with the operators that run the metropolitan passenger train and tram networks, known as franchise agreements. These commenced in 2009 after a competitive tender process. Since 2009 the state has paid over $7.6 billion to the franchisees to run Victoria’s train and tram networks—$5.4 billion to Metro Trains Melbourne and $2.2 billion to Yarra Trams, up to 30 June 2016. PTV has commenced negotiations with the existing operators for a potential seven-year extension. This presents a significant opportunity to address weaknesses in the current agreements and seek improvements in the new franchise agreements, which will be known as MR4. 2 We examined whether PTV’s management of the franchise agreements is delivering value for money, including their oversight of maintenance and renewal of the train and tram assets leased to franchisees. We also examined PTV’s planning for the extension of the franchise agreements. 3 Train and tram services have become more reliable and punctual under the current franchise agreements, and customer satisfaction has improved. However, weaknesses in the design and implementation of the performance regimes prevent PTV from maximising value from the current agreements. There are significant weaknesses in how PTV oversees the maintenance and renewal of assets leased to its franchisees under the current agreements. In particular, PTV does not have adequate medium- to long-term asset strategies for its train and tram network assets and has poor knowledge of asset condition. -
