  • Creating Liveable Communities in the Interface
    Creating Liveable Communities in the Interface profiling our communities Creating 2 Liveable Communities in the Interface Interface Councils The Interface Councils of Melbourne are comprised of the ten municipalities that form an arc around metropolitan Melbourne and incorporate both the green wedge and the urban growth boundary. They bridge the gap between metrpolitan Melbourne and rural Victoria, sharing characteristics of both urban and rural communities. The Interface Councils include the Growth Councils of Melton, Mitchell, Wyndham, Whittlesea, Cardinia, Casey and Hume - some of which contain the largest and fastest growing suburbs in Australia. At the same time, some of the most environmentally sensitive areas are also located at the Interface. Municipalities such as Nillumbik, Yarra Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, and Cardinia contain important water catchments for metropolitan Melbourne, significant agricultural land and forest areas necessary to offset the carbon footprints of the City. The purpose of this document is to highlight the particular challenges being managed now by the City of Casey and to make a case for increased government investment into specific infrastructure and service provision challenges and priorities. 3 The Interface Councils Mitchell Shire Whilesea City Hume City Nillumbik Shire Melton City Yarra Ranges Shire Wyndham Melbourne City City Cardinia Shire Casey City Mornington Peninsula Shire Creating 4 Liveable Communities in the Interface City of Casey Location The City of Casey is located in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, between 28 and 60 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne GPO.

  • M80 Ring Road Upgrade Project Update MP Briefing: April 2017 ______
    M80 Ring Road upgrade Project update MP briefing: April 2017 ________________________________________________________________ Project overview The M80 Ring Road upgrade is a $2.25 billion project that when finished will deliver widening and improvements along 38 kilometres of freeway from the Princes Freeway, Laverton North to the Greensborough Highway, Greensborough. The Victorian Government has committed $350 million to complete the remaining three sections of the M80 Ring Road. Half of the upgrade has been completed, with work on the Sunshine Avenue to Calder Freeway section underway. Construction is expected to begin between Princes Freeway and the Western Highway, the first of three remaining sections, in early 2018. All sections of the freeway are expected to be complete by the end of 2021. Benefits As one of Melbourne’s busiest freeways, the M80 Ring Road is used by more than 165,000 vehicles, including 22,000 trucks, each day. Completing the upgrade will link the already improved sections so drivers, particularly from growth areas such as Wyndham, Melton, Whittlesea and Hume, can access other freeways, including the West Gate Freeway, the Tullamarine Freeway and the new West Gate Tunnel (formerly Western Distributor), quickly and easily. It will also: • Ease congestion by providing more lanes in each direction • Improve safety with better road layout and upgrades to key interchanges to reduce weaving and merging • Reduce travel times for drivers, including greater efficiency for freight. On average, Altona-bound drivers will save 10 minutes and Greensborough-bound drivers will save 15 minutes • Improve traffic flow with the installation of a new freeway management system, including overhead speed limit and lane use signs, ramp signals, CCTV cameras and variable message signs.
