ROAD TOLL SUBMISSION 15 Rail Freight Alliance Submission to the Victorian Parliament Economy and Infrastructure Committee The Rail Freight Alliance The Rail Freight Alliance (RFA) is made up of rural, regional and metropolitan Councils across Victoria. The Alliance membership has a strong belief that more freight on rail will add to the safety, efficiency, productivity and prosperity of all Victorians. Our Membership includes the Councils of Ararat City, Buloke, Central Goldfields, Ballarat City, City of Melbourne, City of Wodonga, East Gippsland, Latrobe City, Loddon, Gannawarra, Glenelg, Greater City of Bendigo, Greater Shepparton, Hindmarsh, Horsham Rural City, Maribyrnong City, Mildura Rural City, Moyne, Northern Grampians, Pyrenees, South Gippsland, Southern Grampians, Strathbogie, Swan Hill Rural City, Warrnambool City, West Wimmera, Wyndham City and Yarriambiack. Victoria’s Road Toll 2019 has seen a tragic increase in Victoria’s Road toll. The road toll and acquired injuries from road trauma has a horrific impact on families across Victoria. The Alliance considers that the issues relating to the road toll must be considered holistically. The focus of this submission is Transport Infrastructure. The RFA acknowledges that this is outside but not limited within the terms of reference of the inquiry. The RFA considers Transport Infrastructure and Policy setting to be a critical element in road safety and decreasing road toll and road trauma. Expected Port Growth It is estimated that the Port of Melbourne (PoM) throughput will exceed 8.7 million TEU by 2050. For the PoM to achieve its forecast growth, rail connectivity and infrastructure must be planned for immediately. The Ports of Geelong and Portland are expected to increase throughput of bulk commodities into the future.

Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria
Department of Primary Industries Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria Report: 51 September 22, 2005 Environmental Indicators Rainfall August rainfall totals were close to normal. Over winter as a whole, rainfall was somewhat above normal in the North East and in East Gippsland, somewhat below normal in Central Victoria and in West Gippsland, and near to normal elsewhere. August had a warm spell at the end of the month following the widespread snow on the 10th. Overall daytime temperatures were 1°C above average and nightime temperatures were about average. For the 6-month period from March to August, serious to severe rainfall deficiencies extend from the far southeast of South Australia across southwest and south-central Victoria to west Gippsland. The deficiencies over southern Victoria are not as extensive or intense as they were at the end of July. The most significant rainfall in September occurred through the second week and varied from 0-5 mm in the north west to over 100 mm in pockets of the North East (Figure 1). The seasonal rainfall outlook for October to December indicates an increased likelihood of below median falls over parts of southern Victoria for the December quarter. Chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% in a band extending from the far southeast of South Australia to West Gippsland. This includes most of the areas that have suffered severe short-term rainfall deficiencies since the start of autumn, and a general downturn in rainfall since the mid 1990s. The chances of a wetter than average season are between 40 and 50% over the rest of the State.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Cowes to Stony Point Vehicle Ferry Business Case
Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Cowes to Stony Point Vehicle Ferry Business Case Will there be a 200m “exclusion zone” around the proposed Cowes vehicle ferry terminal and jetty? A 200 metre exclusion zone on either side of a jetty is not common practice in Victoria. An exclusion zone is typically used for vessel safety (including all craft such as jet skis). If one is applied it is often, but not always, applied to the area of the jetty where the vessel docks for safety reasons, depending on the needs of the vessels using it. Similarly, an exclusion zone is typically only applied to the berth (i.e. at the end of the jetty to the seaward side) not the remainder of the jetty or the beach. It is too soon to determine whether an exclusion zone will be needed for the berth, this would be decided in the approvals process and in consultation with the proponent ferry operator, if the project proceeds. Will pedestrians be able to walk along the beach under the Cowes terminal design being that is being considered? The project team is conscious of the importance of the beach as both a community and tourism asset and has aimed to provide project options that minimise shoreline impact. For this reason, the current design being considered for Cowes does have capacity for pedestrian access underneath the jetty along the beach, however this will be looked at in more detail should the project proceed to the detailed design phase. Detailed Design as well as all future steps will mean that the community has an additional opportunity to have direct input.
