UN 216: Industrial land plan release ignores PT access
https://melbourneontransit.blogspot.com/2025/11/un-216-industrial-land-plan-release.htmlQUOTE
Imagine a land use plan based on 100 000 new jobs by 2035 but no provision or mention of public transport.
Is this something out of California in 1965?
No, it's what passes for Victorian land use planning for jobs in 2025.
Last Sunday on the weekend before the Cup Day public holiday the Victorian state government released a 10 year plan for industrial land.
It proposed the release of 5800 hectares that would fit up to 100 000 jobs.
I looked at it to see what it said about public transport access to jobs.
I searched various relevant terms like buses.
Nothing.
Public transport access and services is not mentioned once as a consideration for industrial land.
The plan is apparently the work of the Department of Transport and Planning.
The amalgamated department has a name that implies there is some sort of coordination.
But it doesn't look like any of this happened.
