4.8.4 ROSSACK DRIVE PUBLIC TRANSPORT INTERCHANGE The proposed new public transport interchange at Rossack Drive would encourage the use of public transport for long and shorter distance trips by people in western sections of the growth area and in existing urban areas to the north, potentially as far as Deakin University. The interchange would have excellent road access via the east-west link road facilitating park-and-ride for people in the growth area, near Rossack Drive, and those further to the south and west. It also offers the potential for a relatively direct link to Deakin University. 4.8.5 SUB-REGIONAL TRANSIT ROUTE A high-quality public transport link should be provided between the existing rail line and the planned Major Activity Centre, with the potential to extend towards Torquay, to encourage the use of public transport for people in the southern part of the growth area and to provide access to the centre for people outside the growth area. This public transport link should be designed to accommodate a range of different high-quality public transport modes offering links to central Geelong, North Geelong and central Melbourne. The proposed public transport link should be designed so that it has maximum integration with the urban form of the Major Activity Centre, with a strong public transit focus. The alignment of the public transport link is designed to meet the eastern edge of the Major Activity Centre, where a public transport interchange can serve as an ‘anchor’. Park and Ride facilities should not be provided at the Major Activity Centre interchange, as they would fragment the centre and the interchange at Rossack Drive will be more accessible by car—particularly once the Geelong Ring Road is constructed. The local transit services are intended to replace the need for park and ride for Armstrong Creek residents. Instead, the interchange will be focused on people who arrive on foot, cycle or the local transit services. There is potential to extend the link further south. Significant upgrades were recently implemented to an existing high-quality trunk public transport service between Geelong and Torquay, which is capable of further upgrading.

KEY CONCEPT: PUBLIC TRANSPORT In a quality city, a person should be able to live their entire life without a car, and not feel deprived. Paul Bedford It is hoped that many of Armstrong Creek’s residents will be able and choose to work locally. Most of its children will also go to school locally. These trips represent the majority of travel demand. Therefore, a local transit system will be provided connecting all parts of the growth area with its employment areas, centres and other key destinations such as railway stations and schools. Existing Torquay Road and Barwon Heads Road bus services will be enhanced and integrated with the proposed local transit system to provide services beyond the growth area to other parts of Geelong and the region. In order to offer a fast and reliable service, it is hoped that a frequent-enough service can be achieved so that people feel able to just turn up at a stop and wait, rather than having to consult a timetable and plan their journey. The local transit network should be designed to ensure that at least 90% of homes and businesses within the growth area are within 600 metres—a comfortable 7-8 minute walk—of a transit route. This is consistent with ResCode’s provisions for trams, which the local transit system will have more in common with than a bus service. Based on an average speed of 25km/h, the maximum travel time from the furthest point in the growth area to the Major Activity Centre will be approximately 10 minutes. Local transit services should be provided from day 1 of development so that residents are not encouraged to adopt a ‘car habit’ and have a viable alternative.
