Name of Initiative Description of initiative Target Group
Information provided to bus service planning
process – Maldon and Baringhup residents
Non-urgent medical transport in Bendigo corridor
As part of the Bendigo transport review a number
of towns were not recognised as outlying towns for
the purpose of the review. This initiative advocated
on behalf of Maldon and Baringhup.
Local agencies were cautiously interested in sharing
resources to assist in getting people to Melbourne
(and Kyneton) for medical appointments.
This initiative aimed to involve departments who
funded community/health transport to:
- collect data on the journeys they fund
Maldon and Baringhup residents; and
DOI.
Local Health service agencies; and
DOI.
- work out if the data is useful for planning.
