Hurstbridge Township Strategy• Tourism represents an environmentally sustainable option for continued and furthereconomic growth of the township.• Tourism should not expand to the detriment of the township character and naturalenvironment.Infrastructure• The road network feeds into Heidelberg-Kinglake Road in the township centre, withlarge volumes of thoroughfare traffic.• A single line railway and train station located within the town centre. The maincommuter carpark is located off Heidelberg-Kinglake Road.• The layout of some sections of carparking in the township centre (particularly on thewestern side of Heidelberg-Kinglake Road) is insufficient and inefficient.• The traffic movement within township centre conflicts with pedestrian movement.• Monash Bridge identified as a key point of conflict within the whole road network.• Improved pedestrian access required with better linkages between functionalprecincts to reduce conflict between traffic and pedestrian movement.• No reticulated gas services in the town.• Water, sewerage and drainage services adequate, but not designed for significantexpansion of the town.• No youth and child care facilities.• Total amount of open space provision sufficient, however improvement to provision ofpublic facilities required.Nillumbik Shire Council – March 2002x
