Cobram 2025 Cobram Strategy Plan - Moira Shire Council

Cobram Strategy Plan
Final Report
The continuation of the public bus service in and around Cobram should be
encouraged, particularly as it provides a much needed social and transport
service to elderly, young people and low income earners.
As stated above, provision should be made in road network of the residential
neighbourhoods for buses, and the option of re-routing the Murray Line and V-
Line bus services through the collector street network rather than along the
Murray Valley Highway should be explored, particularly as these residential areas
develop.
9.5.4 Further Investigations
There are a number of trends anticipated which cannot be qualified or quantified
as part of this Strategy Plan. In this regard it is recommended that a
comprehensive traffic and transport analysis and assessment by undertaken for
Cobram. Such an assessment should review and make recommendations the
overall network, and also address specific matters including, but not limited to the:
− Movement networks for industrial traffic
− Perceived need for and possible locations of a by-pass route
− Traffic speeds along the Murray Valley Highway
− Alternative links between the Murray Valley Highway and Broadway/Mookarii
Streets
− Intersection upgrades at the Murray Valley Highway/ Broadway/Mookarii
Streets /Cobram Koonoomoo Road, the Murray Valley Highway/Cobram South
Road and Ritchie Road and Murray Valley Highway/Campbells Road
Such an assessment should give consideration to the findings and
recommendations of "The Cobram Traffic Study, Cobram Hospital Precinct Traffic
Management Plan”, prepared by John Piper Traffic P/L, July 2006.
