9.9 Ultimate <strong>Ground</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> Implementation System (Beyond 20 years)<br />
The ultimate implementation plan for improvements to the ground transport system is outlined in Table 9.7 and 9.8 which<br />
will be addressed outside the next 20 years.<br />
Beyond the 20-year period, <strong>Melbourne</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> will continue to implement ground transport capability. This will also<br />
improve its vision for an interconnected ground transport system that supports safe, efficient and reliable journeys<br />
for all modes of transport and airport users.<br />
The specific details of the longer term initiatives are clearly less refined. While all aspects of ground transport will<br />
continue to grow, there are two specific elements that can be acknowledged in this plan.<br />

Table 9.8 identifies important projects that will enable airport growth and ground transport capability where the<br />
responsibility for delivery lies with external agencies. <strong>Melbourne</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> will continue to work with these agencies to<br />
achieve the necessary outcomes.<br />

9.9.1 Internal Road Network<br />
The new elevated road network was designed to supplement existing roads and provide additional capacity well beyond<br />
this Master <strong>Plan</strong>. Modelling using the <strong>Melbourne</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> Landside Traffic Model confirms that the current queues onto the<br />
Tullamarine Freeway as a consequence of the Terminal Drive/Centre Road intersection should not occur under the new<br />
network well beyond the 20-year horizon. This road network provides a new high-efficiency system above the current network,<br />
allowing for considerable additional capacity.<br />
The airport’s key challenge beyond 20 years will be increasing the capacity within the forecourt area or ground transport<br />
hubs to match the high level of road capacity.<br />
