Putting Melbourne 2030 transport principles into practice-a regional case study

摘要

Amongst numerous proposals from the public to governments to upgrade Melbourne's public transport, one set of proposals stands alone in both improving rail and bus networks connectivity, and rationalising under-utilised heavy infrastructure. These proposals have been promoted by advocacy groups such as the Town & Country Planning Association. They include the following main elements that would improve public transport access to Camberwell and other activity centres, e.g.: Conversion of the Alamein railway to a 25 km light railway ("Monash Railway") from Camberwell station, extending beyond Alamein via Chadstone Shopping Centre, Oakleigh, Huntingdale, Monash University and Wellington Road to Rowville.
