Summary The Government has spent the past four years investing in hospitals and schools, building road and rail, creating jobs and taking action on family violence. In its second term, the Government will continue to deliver on its positive plan, creating a better, fairer and stronger Victoria. The Government is committed to helping every child reach their full potential, making sure our loved ones get the care and dignity they deserve, and building the big infrastructure projects Victoria needs now, and for the future. It is a plan that aims to create more jobs and to give more Victorians the security and dignity of work. Over the next four years the Government will focus on: education jobs transport Minutes of the Proceedings 5 health; and fairness. Education The Government understands the profound power of education – the doors it opens and the opportunities it affords. In its second term, the Government will continue to invest in local schools, kindergartens and TAFE to ensure that every Victorian has the chances in life they deserve – wherever they live and whatever their background. Investing in kindergarten for all Victorian children The Government understands that success begins with making sure Victorian children get the very best start in life. That’s why the Government will undertake the largest social, economic and educational reform in early childhood learning in Victoria’s history. The Government will invest almost $5 billion over the next decade so that every Victorian child will have access to at least five hours of subsidised three-year-old kinder by 2022, increasing to 15 hours per week over the next decade. Not only will this save families thousands of dollars, it will help get children ready for school and set them up for life. As part of this investment, the Government will undertake the state’s biggest early education build, with almost 1,000 new and upgraded kinders across the state.

  • Royal Park – Transport Discussion Paper
    Royal Park – Transport Discussion Paper City of Melbourne 9 September 2019 FIGURE 1: MAIN FEATURES OF ROYAL PARK Source: Phillip Boyle & Associates Executive Summary This discussion paper considers transport in relation to Royal Park. The paper has been developed to support the City of Melbourne’s preparations for the process of creating the next Royal Park Masterplan. For this preparation it is appropriate that a detailed transport study be prepared that considers transport in relation to the aims for the park and reviews the directions and actions related to transport in the current and previous Masterplans. The aim of the paper is to provoke thinking about issues related to transport and recommend areas for further analysis by the City of Melbourne and the community as the next masterplan develops. Royal Park is the largest park in the City of Melbourne with important values, including biodiversity and cultural heritage. The passive and active recreation opportunities in the park make a significant contribution to people’s social connectedness, mental health and wellbeing. The park also provides ecosystem services such as stormwater reuse and the mitigation of urban heat. The importance of this area of parkland will grow as Melbourne’s population increases. The high value of this park land has not protected Royal Park from damage. The original area of park land envisioned in in the 1840s has been repeatedly cut back to provide land for other purposes and repeatedly cut across by transport links including a railway and tram line in the 1800s and a tram line and east-west road in the 1900s.
