  • 19 October 2020 School Bus Program Inquiry Committee Secretariat Legislative Assembly, Economy and Infrastructure Committee Parl
    LC EIC Inquiry into the Use of School Buses in Rural and Regional Victoria Submission 001 19 October 2020 School Bus Program Inquiry Committee Secretariat Legislative Assembly, Economy and Infrastructure Committee Parliament of Victoria Parliament House, Spring Street EAST MELBOURNE VIC 3002 By E-mail Only: [email protected] Dear Committee Secretariat SUBMISSION TO SCHOOL BUS PROGRAM INQUIRY Greater Shepparton City Council was invited by Rod Barton MLC – Member for Eastern Metropolitan Melbourne to provide a submission to the Parliamentary Inquiry on Victoria’s School Bus Program. Greater Shepparton is the fourth largest regional municipality in Victoria with the population of 68,900 in 2020, which is forecast to grow to 83,234 by 2036. I believe that a lack of public transport options across Greater Shepparton is compounding social disadvantage and car dependency. Within Greater Shepparton, 5% of school leavers are not in the labour force or undergoing formal training or education, with 17% of children living in jobless families and 7% of people receiving long term unemployment benefits; figures that are significantly higher than the state average. Greater Shepparton’s public transport network currently inhibits the socially vulnerable from participating in society and accessing employment opportunities. Council has been advocating to the State Government to undertake a town bus network review in Shepparton and Mooroopna. The existing network has remained unchanged since 2009. Services are infrequent; running only hourly between 8am and 6pm on weekdays, with limited service on Saturdays, and no services on Sundays or public holidays. None of Shepparton or Mooroopna’s bus routes coordinate with rail services at the Shepparton Railway Station, and do not serve many of Shepparton and Mooroopna’s new growth areas and major tourist destinations.
