4.8 MOVEMENT AND ACCESS This section should be read in conjunction with the Armstrong Creek Urban Growth Plan Movement and Access Technical Report, February 2006. 4.8.1 VISION The vision states that: The potential will be explored for improvements to Marshall Station and for new, high-quality public transport services to serve the Armstrong Creek community. Public transport services will be provided from the outset, offering frequent and reliable services along dedicated corridors to key destinations including railway stations, central Geelong, Deakin University and Torquay. Development will be organised to ensure that all homes are within a short walk of public transport, reducing reliance on private cars. Torquay Road, Barwon Heads Road and a future link to the Geelong Ring Road will be developed as urban boulevards, continuing to provide good access into and out of the Armstrong Creek area without severing the communities on either side. Additional main roads will be developed to provide good vehicle access throughout the growth area. The streets will be designed to provide a comprehensive network of safe, direct and attractive cycle paths and footpaths for commuter and recreational purposes. This, in combination with the provision of daily needs close to all homes, will enable people to walk or cycle to local destinations such as neighbourhood shops, public transport, workplaces, primary schools and parks, supporting healthy lifestyles and avoiding social isolation. 4.8.2 KEY ISSUES Public Transport It is likely that private car-based travel will continue to be the dominant mode of transport for the foreseeable future, despite increasing fuel prices. However, car use is a major consumer of fossil fuels and a significant source of greenhouse gases. A focus on cars as the primary mode of transport also isolates the substantial proportion of the community who cannot drive or do not have ready access to a car. Further, alternative modes of travel such as walking and public transport promote social interaction which, in turn, fosters a sense of community.

Therefore, it is critical that the UGP promotes and facilitates public transport for reasons of both environmental sustainability and social equity. The growth area is large enough to warrant multiple levels of public transport: heavy rail for longer-distance trips, eg. to central Geelong or Melbourne; buses for regional trips, eg. to Torquay or Geelong; buses for sub-regional trips, eg. to Deakin University; light-rail or rapid bus, to take people to and from stations on the rail system and act as an internal distribution system; and local community bus services, for special needs groups. Longer-distance Public Transport Marshall is already serviced by a railway station offering services to central Geelong and beyond to North Geelong and Melbourne. The presence of the rail line along the whole northern boundary of the growth area offers the opportunity to supplement this with a new public transport interchange. However, even with this additional public transport interchange, much of the growth area would still be relatively distant from longer-distance public transport services. Therefore, if the growth area is to be properly served, a high quality public transport link is needed that extends southwards into the development. The Department of Infrastructure, in conjunction with key stakeholders such as V/line and the City of Greater Geelong, is undertaking a study of this rail corridor. This study will review all current railway stations and potential future public transport interchanges on the corridor. Local Public Transport Key elements of a successful local public transport service are: convenience—linking places that people want to travel between; speed—at least comparable with travel by private car; reliability; frequency—preferably sufficient that passengers do not feel the need to consult a timetable; safety—for all types of people at all times of day and night; and ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 95
