Ground Transport Plan :: 9 9.7 Melbourne Airport Six to 20-Year Ground Transport Action Plan Table 9.5 lists the Ground Transport Plan implementation actions over the next six to 20 years. Table 9.5: Six to 20-Year Action Plan Recommendation Internal road Responsible authority Timing Complete the elevated loop road APAM 6–20 years Widen Airport Drive to six lanes APAM 6–20 years Duplicate South Centre Road APAM 6–20 years Extend Sky Road (east and west) APAM 6–20 years Rail Plan with PTV for an underground rail station and rail alignment PTV/APAM 6–20 years Bus Address bus road space priority on Melbourne Airport roads PTV/VicRoads 6–20 years Investigate dynamic bus bay allocation APAM/PTV 6–20 years Work with PTV to trial off-airport check-in at external sites e.g. Southern Cross Station APAM/PTV/ Skybus/ Airlines 6–20 years Provide a transport interchange facility APAM/PTV 6–20 years Active transport Construct new on-road and off-road links that provide internal access and, where possible link, with paths external to the airport Private vehicle parking DRAFT APAM 6–20 years Increase long-term ground-level car parking APAM 6–20 years Develop additional at-grade car parking capacity APAM 6–20 years Develop additional multi-level car parking capacity APAM 6–20 years Develop additional staff car parking capacity APAM 6–20 years MELBOURNE Airport Master plan 2013 – PRELIMINARY DRAFT : : 129
9.8 Six to 20-Year Ground Transport Initiatives (External Agencies) Table 9.6 identifies important projects that will enable airport growth and ground transport capability where the responsibility for delivery lies with external agencies. Melbourne Airport will continue to work with these agencies to achieve the necessary outcomes. Table 9.6: Six to 20-Year External Agency Initiatives Recommendation External road Responsible authority Timing Extend the express lanes on the Tullamarine Freeway to Melbourne Airport VicRoads 6–20 years Construct the Bulla Bypass VicRoads 6–20 years Bus Work with airlines to trial off-airport check-in at external sites e.g. Southern Cross Station Demand management Roll out TravelSmart for Melbourne Airport. TravelSmart is a Victorian Government initiative to reduce people’s dependency on cars and encouraged them to choose sustainable transport alternatives such as cycling, walking and public transport. Rail APAM/ Skybus/PTV/ Airlines DRAFT PTV 6–20 years 6–20 years Airport rail link implementation PTV 6–20 years 9.8.1 Internal Roads Completing the elevated loop road will be a priority. This critical piece of road infrastructure will substantially increase capacity and reduce travel times. The elevated loop road will be substantially completed during the life of this Master Plan; however, there will be ongoing refinement of the connections to the existing underlying roads, ground transport hubs, forecourts and car parks over subsequent years. Further development of the underlying road network will continue, providing local access to airport commercial development as it occurs. 9.8.2 External Roads The most immediate need within the external road network is to increase capacity on the Tullamarine Freeway, and the State Government is considering funding to further that initiative. Victoria’s Infrastructure Australia submission sought Commonwealth funding to develop ‘managed motorways’ that, if successful, will benefit the Tullamarine Freeway. The VicRoads ‘managed motorway’ is the term used to describe a motorway that brings together complementary technologies to maximise the road infrastructure’s performance. A suite of communication systems and coordinated traffic management tools create a fully managed road environment that combines intelligence, control and information. 130
