  • 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.

  • MCT) and Light Rail Plan
    DRAFT 59 Rail Futures Inc THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN Moving People in a City of 8 Million 25 May 2019 This paper has been prepared by Rail Futures Incorporated in the public interest. Rail Futures Inc is an independent non-partisan group formed to advocate cost effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, planners and economists. Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-2050, May 2019 Version 59 - DRAFT FOR COMMENT Rail Futures Institute 1 Foreword Melbourne once had one of the world’s best public transport systems. The forethought and planning of Victorians more than a century ago, and their capacity to value the welfare of Victorians of the future -us - as highly as their own, helped make Melbourne one of the world’s economically most productive and liveable cities. For the past few generations, myopia, carelessness and excessive valuation of the present over the future have been squandering that wonderful legacy. The economic and social life of this city will be deeply impaired by barriers to movement of people around the city unless chronic underinvestment over recent generations is remedied. The Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-50 demonstrates the way to correct the mistakes of recent generations, and that some contemporary Victorians are up to the challenge. The Report is comprehensive, creative and authoritative. It is an excellent foundation for rebuilding Melbourne to secure its position as one of the world’s most successful cities. Melbourne is growing more rapidly than any other large city in the developed world.
