INTRODUCTION Traffix Group has been engaged by the Growth Areas Authority (GAA) to undertake a transport assessment report for the Greenvale Central Precinct Structure Plan. The transport assessment report not only considers the transport infrastructure requirements for the Greenvale Central precinct, but also considers the transport requirements in the context of the broader surrounding area, including the recently completed Greenvale West (R3), Greenvale North (R1) and Craigieburn (R2) PSPs and the adjacent existing developed areas. The report also takes into consideration the possibility of a shift of the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to the west. The transport assessment report takes into account relevant background information and existing conditions, and responds to the criteria set out in Element 6 (Transport and Movement) of the Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines – Part 2 (2009), prepared by the GAA. The purpose of the report is to provide input for the documentation required in preparing a Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) and Development Contributions Plan (DCP) for the Greenvale Central Precinct. 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1. The PSP Area The study area of Greenvale Central has a total area of approximately 237 hectares and is comprised of two areas. The southern area (Part A) is bordered by Somerton Road to the north, Mickleham Road to the east, and the UGB to the south and west; the northern area (Part B) is bordered by Aitken College to the north, Greenvale Reservoir to the east, Somerton Road to the south and Mickleham Road to the west. Figure 1 shows the study area and a locality plan and also shows the existing road hierarchy on the surrounding road network.

Land Use The southern area (Part A) of the Greenvale Central PSP area is located within the Urban Growth Zone (UGZ), whilst the northern area (Part B) is located within the Rural Living Zone (RLZ) as indicated in Figure 2 below. Figure 2: Land Use Zoning Map – Hume Planning Scheme Page 4 12643R7262 Transport Assessment Report – July 2012 GREENVALE CENTRAL PRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN The urban growth boundary runs along the southern, western and part of the northern boundary of the Greenvale Central (south) area. The urban growth boundary then extends along the western and northern boundaries of the Greenvale West (R3) area before extending up along Mickleham Road. Key land uses surrounding the study area include the following: Woodlands Historic Park is located immediately west and south of Greenvale Central (south), Melbourne Airport is located approximately 2.5km south-west of the study area, existing residential development at conventional density (Residential 1 Zone) is located to the east of Mickleham Road south of Somerton Road, existing residential development at low density (Low Density Residential Zone) is located east of Mickleham Road south of Greenvale Drive, Greenvale Shopping Centre is located on the east side of Mickleham Road north of Greenvale Road and contains a supermarket, medical centre and a number of specialty shops, Aitken College is located immediately north of Greenvale Central (north), a Residential 1 Zone is located north of Aitken College (known Providence Estate) and is currently under construction, Greenvale Reservoir is located further to the east of Greenvale Central (north), a Green Wedge Zone is located to the west and north of Greenvale West (R3) with Moonee Ponds Creek located further to the west, and Oakland Junction Quarry is located approximately 2.8km northwest of the Somerton Road/Mickleham Road intersection. Page 5 12643R7262 Transport Assessment Report – July 2012 GREENVALE CENTRAL PRECINCT STRUCTURE PLAN 2.3. Existing Road Network Mickleham Road Mickleham Road is an arterial road (Road Zone Category 1) which extends approximately 19km between Tullamarine in the south and Mickleham in the north. South of Somerton Road adjacent to Greenvale Central (south), Mickleham Road has recently been duplicated and is constructed with dual 7 metre carriageways carrying two lanes each way separated by a 13 metre central median, within a 56 metre wide road reservation. A 3 metre wide shared path is located on the east side. Figure

Please find attached the objections of the Australian Labor Party (Victorian Branch) to the Redistribution Committee’s proposals. Our objections have also been recorded on MapInfo and the relevant files are being sent separately. Yours sincerely, Samuel Rae State Secretary Australian Labor Party (Victorian Branch) 2 AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY OBJECTIONS TO REDISTRIBUTION COMMITTEE’S PROPOSAL FOR VICTORIA The ALP’s objections are summarised as follows: 1. Cox/Wannon-Unite all of Colac- Otway Shire in Wannon and all of Golden Plains Shire in Cox. Under the AEC proposal, Cox is a Division where two thirds of electors are drawn from Geelong and Queenscliff Councils. Wannon is a Division drawing two thirds of its electors from coastal based Shires, (Glenelg; Moyne; Warrnambool; Corangamite and part Colac-Otway). Whether any or no objections to Wannon or Cox succeed, the fundamental characteristics of both Divisions won’t change but it does make sense, particularly in rural areas to keep local government areas together.

    Cultural Heritage Advice 2-12 Barrett Street and 1-7 Elizabeth Street Kensington, Victoria: Mixed Use (Commercial) Development Prepared for: Impact Investment Group Heritage Advisor Keith Patton (BA Archaeology (Hons), Master of Cultural Heritage) Date 2 October 2017 AKWP Heritage Advisors PO BOX 816 Werribee Victoria 3030 Phone: 03 9731 0726 Mobile: 0439 825 489 www.heritageadvisor.com.au Email: [email protected] Cultural Heritage Advice I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Metropol Planning Solutions on behalf of the Impact Investment Group engaged AKWP Heritage Advisors to conduct a heritage assessment to determine the cultural heritage requirements in relation to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (amended 2016) and the Heritage Act 1995 prior to any proposed development of the site. The project consists of the development of a graded car park and associated ground works at 2-12 Barrett Street and the redevelopment of 1-7 Elizabeth Street Kensington Victoria, associated with a mixed use (commercial) development. Future plans include the redevelopment of the land for a mixed use (commercial) development of the site including basement car parking. The proposed development area is within the local government area of City of Melbourne. The wider geographic region of the Activity Area is defined as the land system of Gippsland Plain geomorphological unit that includes flat, low-lying coastal and alluvial plains with a gently undulating terrain dominated by barrier dunes, floodplains and swampy flats. The cadastral details for the Activity Area are Lot 1 TP517326 (2-12 Barrett Street) and Lot 1 TP595449 (1-7 Elizabeth Street (Map 2 & Appendix B). II. REGISTER SEARCH The searches of the registers indicate that there are no heritage listings within the Activity Area and no known Aboriginal cultural heritage Places within 50m of the immediate vicinity of the block.

  • Integrated Transport Strategy 2010–19
    Integrated Transport Strategy 2010–19 Balancing the transport needs of everyone in the community can be a difficult task as different road users have different needs. We all need to get around, so it is important Council supports a fair and equitable balance of these differing needs. The City of Moreland faces some considerable transport challenges, both now and in the future. Population growth, climate change, peak oil, health and wellbeing, congestion, economic development and social inclusion all will have an escalating impact on the way we move around. They present significant challenges and potentially opportunities for all tiers of government and our community. How we manage them will ultimately affect the way our City evolves. Moreland’s Integrated Transport Strategy 2010-19 (MITS) establishes Council’s strategic direction for transport planning for the next ten years. It identifies actions Council can implement to support sustainable communities and overcome some of these challenges. Four key objectives have been developed to work towards this vision. They are: • To achieve a mode shift towards more environmentally sustainable travel behaviours Cr Stella Kariofyllidis Mayor, Moreland City Council • To support social equity and ensure viable transport options for all sectors of the community • To improve safety of all modes of transport to support an active and healthy community • To support economic activity by providing for multi modal transport links for all forms of commerce in the City. In addition to actions Council can implement, the strategy contains many advocacy actions for issues beyond Council’s jurisdiction. Thus the endorsement of MITS empowers Council to advocate for improvements to our transport networks.

AMENDING LEGISLATION. The Highways and Vehicles Act No. 3379 passed in December, 1924, became operative during the year, when on the 11th February, 1925, the. main road from Bairnsdale to Wodonga through Bruthen, Omeo, and Tallangatta was declared a State Highway under the designation of the Omeo Highway. From the date mentioned, the financial responsibility for the maintenance of this highway has devolved upon the Board on behalf of the State. The highway passes through the municipal districts of the Shires of Bairnsdale, Tambo, Omeo, Towong, Yackandandah and Wodonga, and although the whole cost of the work of maintenance is borne by the Board, advantage has been taken of the provisions of Sec·tion 8 of the Highways and Vehicles Act to permit of the local municipal authorities carrying out and supervising the work, to which they have readily agreed.

  • Moonee Valley City Council Public Consultation Submission
    Moonee Valley City Council Public Consultation Submission: Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan December 2019 Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan Moonee Valley City Council officers welcome the opportunity to provide comment on the Draft Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan (Draft Plan). Officers have reviewed the Draft Plan and are pleased to make this submission. Please find below a number of comments and suggestions for your consideration. Approach to Planning for Industrial and Commercial Land Similar to at the State level, Moonee Valley experiences challenges due to population growth and associated demand for industrial and commercial space to support this growth. Moonee Valley comprises one area of Regionally Significant Industrial Land at Airport West and five reasonably small pockets of Local Industrial Land throughout its municipality (See Figure 1 below). Commercial areas and the Commercial 1 Zone (C1Z) are largely focused across its seven Major Activity Centres (see Figure 2 below). The small pockets of industrial land remaining in Moonee Valley perhaps reflect Melbourne’s economy transitioning away from traditional manufacturing towards one focussed on the production and delivery of services. Moonee Valley values its remaining industrial land and the diverse source of business and employment activity they provide. Moonee Valleys long term strategic vision, MV2040, calls for reinvigorating industrial areas such as Airport West where viable. There is a need to ensure that strategic planning for industrial areas is robust and appropriate and does not reduce viability for industry and commerce. Council welcomes therefore, state guidance in the form of this Draft Plan.
