Executive Summary
Attachment 1
Transport impacts all aspects of our lives. It is used to participate in our work, education, family and social activities, and contributes to the economy, environment and infrastructure of our community. Banyule City Council is committed to a community where residents and visitors can enjoy high quality amenity, and access services and destinations in a safe and sustainable manner. The Banyule Integrated Transport Plan (BITP) encourages people to make a change from private vehicular transport to active transport – walking, cycling and using public transport. In aligning with the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan, unless our transport network becomes safer, the safety of our transport users could become a barrier to sustainable transport. The Banyule Safe Travel Plan (BSTP) compliments the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan that sets out Council’s long term transport goals. The scope of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan has been widened to improve safety for all travellers and environments rather than limiting the Plan to road users and the road/footpath space. This allows the Plan to align better with other Council plans such as the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan, Safer Banyule Plan and the Place: Health and Wellbeing Plan. Council’s Transport System Hierarchy gives priority to sustainable active modes of transport. Active transport users cause the least harm to other road users and the environment; however sustain the most severe injuries if involved in a crash. The Banyule Safe Travel Plan seeks to reduce deaths and serious injuries towards zero over the ten year period of the plan. In the most recent five year period, 274 crashes occurred in Banyule, resulting in 11 fatalities and 316 serious injuries. Vehicle drivers and passengers make up 63% of all road fatalities and serious injuries within the municipality, and the remaining 37% involve pedestrians (15%), cyclists (9%) and motorcyclists (12%). There are high numbers of heavy vehicles using the arterial network within Banyule causing concern for Council and residents.
Vision and Key Safe Travel Themes To achieve the safe travel goals of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan, a Vision has been established in consultation with the local community:
Pathways to safer journeys – moving freely via people-friendly streets Key safe travel themes for the Plan have been identified through the analysis of crash statistics, community engagement, and consideration of the strategic context of Council and the State and Federal Governments. The safe travel themes are: 1. Safer Walking, Cycling and Travelling by Public Transport 2. Reduce Vehicle Impacts 3. Think Safe Travel 4. Encourage safe behaviour by all road users, and 5. Support the community to take action on safe travel issues

1. Towards safe travel in Banyule Why a Plan is needed
Apart from the direct impact of trauma caused by vehicular traffic in Banyule – one or two people going to hospital every week - the perception of feeling unsafe while travelling on our roads on foot or by bicycle can deter some people from fully participating in community life. Children are not being encouraged to walk or ride to school. Some older people may stay at home when they could be out enjoying walking to a local community centre or parkland. We all miss out on exercise and fresh air while we sit in a car. In many cases, we can travel quicker and further by car. But as more people make the choice to travel by private car, our roads and car parks will become even more congested and we may find that this method of travel will be less attractive. Banyule has recently developed a plan which encourages people to begin to change from car travel to active transport – walking, cycling and using public transport. It is known as the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan 2015-2035. This Safe Travel Plan extends on the actions of that plan and places a renewed focus on the safety of walkers, cyclists and public transport users.
A Plan for safe travel The Safe Travel Plan has been developed to improve the safety of all modes of travel. We need to manage some of the risks (real and perceived) that people on foot or bicycle face when mixing it with cars and trucks on our roads and streets. This means giving people priority on local streets. It means slowing cars down when they are near where people can walk or ride. It means fewer cars on the road, and less kilometres driven by cars, per head of population. We need to reduce road trauma in Banyule, in particular, reducing the number of serious injuries occurring on our road network. The plan will work alongside ‘Towards Zero’ – the State Government’s vision for a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads, creating a City where there will be no preventable deaths or serious injuries at all on our roads.

Private cars can have positive and negative effects on the health and wellbeing of the people of Banyule. This plan seeks to balance the benefits of local travel with the potential harm to health and wellbeing that arise from various modes of travel.

Attachment 1: Banyule Safe Travel Plan 2016-2026
Population growth will continue in Banyule and our outer urban neighbouring municipalities including Whittlesea and Nillumbik. Through traffic on our arterial roads can be expected to continue to increase while Melbourne’s existing transport systems struggle to cope with increasing demands posed by population growth in outer Melbourne. Under the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan, Council will work with VicRoads to ensure that arterial roads within Activity Centres will provide priority for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Outside of these areas, arterial roads such as Bell Street and Greensborough Highway will provide priority for freight and car traffic. This approach will be complemented at a local level through Banyule’s Local Road User Hierarchy, which assigns highest priority to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport above other road users, with sole occupant private cars and parked vehicles the lowest priority.
Reductions in road trauma Despite increases in traffic volumes, the number of fatal crashes in Banyule halved during the 1990s, but has levelled out to about two fatal crashes per year over the past 15 years. The number of people seriously injured and being admitted to hospital has been steady at about 60 per year over the past few years, with a slight increase in 2014, as shown in Figure 1.

Number of people killed/injured in road crashes in Banyule
This compares favourably with the number of people seriously injured during the five years 2004-2008, when an average of 99 people per year were seriously injured, or about two people per week. During the same five years 2004-2008, a total of 1,592 people suffered injuries of any severity, at an average of 318 per year. The previous Banyule Road Safety Plan 2009-2014 set a goal of reducing injuries to 200 per year in 2015. The latest available figures for all injuries are for 2010-2014, during which time an average of 260 people per year were treated for injuries, or 5 people every week. The Banyule Safe Travel Plan 2016-2026 will seek to reduce deaths and serious injuries towards zero over the ten-year period of the plan. The vision, key themes and objectives set out in the plan will help lead Council and the community towards this goal.
Development of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan Action A56 of the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan 2015-2035 states: “Review and update the Banyule Road Safety Plan”. In 2015, Council applied for and received funding from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), enabling it to develop a safe travel plan. The plan builds upon Council’s Road Safety Plan 2010-2015 and adopts a broader, more inclusive concept of ‘safe travel’. The Banyule Safe Travel Plan has been developed following consultation with the community and key stakeholders. Key steps in developing the plan include: •
Establishing a Key Stakeholder Group and a Wider Reference Group to assist in the development and production of the plan. o
The Key Stakeholder Group comprised officers of Victoria Police, VicRoads and Council units which have a direct impact on safe travel in Banyule.
o
The Wider Reference Group comprised community members and representatives of external agencies which have an impact on safe travel in Banyule. Organisations represented on this

What the community told us Overall approximately 900 community members and stakeholders have been engaged during the development of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan. This summary is drawn from consultation with the community and key stakeholders. This is just a snapshot of what the community told us. More detailed information on the consultation process and feedback can be found in Appendix 1: Consultation Paper – Feedback Summary - What you told us –June 2016. Public Transport The community want our railway stations and public transport interchanges to be more accessible, welllit, clean and have adequate seating and shelter. They seek support to advocate for the provision of lifts at railway stations and to reduce the steepness of access ramps at railway stations. There is strong support for removing level crossings at Rosanna and Macleod. The community place a high value on safe connections between all forms of public transport – train, tram, bus and taxi. Active Transport Parents and children would like to be able to walk and cycle safely to school, the shops, sporting activities and community activities. Safe walking and cycling are significant for their physical and social well-being. The cycling community value the provision of exclusive on-road cycle lanes and good safe connections between on-road and off-road cycle facilities. The community supports pedestrian priority in our activity and neighbourhood centres and requests the progressive upgrading of key pedestrian routes, including allowing more green time for pedestrians to cross safely at traffic signals. Freight and Private Vehicular Transport There is concern about the volume of freight and private vehicular traffic on our arterial roads causing major congestion and a perception of reduced road safety. This congestion leads to vehicles leaving the

main road system, using local roads as an alternative route. The community has expressed concern at the speed of vehicles on all roads in Banyule.
4.2
Item: 4.2
The community identified respect towards fellow transport users, for example, cyclists showing respect for pedestrians on shared trails; car drivers showing respect towards cyclists on roads as a priority to achieve a safe travel City. Respect could be fostered through promotion and education activities. An ageing population has also brought forward some new safe travel issues around education and training for mobility scooter riders. Key stakeholders such as Victoria Police and VicRoads highly value the opportunity to work collaboratively with Council and other partners to resolve road safety issues in Banyule.

Pathways to safer journeys – moving freely via people-friendly streets The vision and key themes for safe travel in Banyule were developed through consultation with key stakeholders including Council, VicRoads and Victoria Police, and amended on the basis of community feedback via Council’s website, online survey and advice from Banyule’s advisory committees. They reflect our goal as a community to make travel safer in Banyule, especially for people not using a private car on their journey.
Themes and objectives Four themes and objectives have been identified.
Safer walking, cycling and travelling by public transport Improve the safety of walking, cycling and travelling by public transport in Banyule. Remove barriers to safe, convenient and confident local journeys on foot, by bike, and by bus, tram and train. Reduce vehicle impacts Reduce towards zero the negative impacts of vehicular road traffic on the health, safety and wellbeing of local people and visitors to Banyule, and on the long term health of the planet. Reduce the number, distance and speed of vehicular journeys within Banyule. Think safe travel
Integrate safe travel thinking into all policy, planning and operational decisions within Banyule Council. Seek to embed safe travel thinking into decisions made by Council’s partners. Shift community safety culture
Shift community awareness towards a clearer appreciation of the negative effects of private vehicular transport in Banyule. Obtain active support and participation by individuals, community groups and businesses in efforts to achieve safe travel.

3. Policy and standards framework and context International policy perspective International Standard ISO 39001-2012: Road traffic safety (RTS) management systems – Requirements with guidelines for use
It is applicable to road management authorities such as Banyule City Council and VicRoads. It also provides guidance for Banyule City Council in relation to safe travel responsibilities and initiatives that extend well beyond those of a road management authority. These include responsibilities for the health and wellbeing of the local people, and the need to engage stakeholders and partners in the work of reducing the potential harm done by road traffic. It also provides guidance to improve safety of travel generated by Council’s own activities, as a major road user within Banyule. The Banyule Safe Travel Plan 2016-2026 aligns closely with ISO 39001.
National policy perspective National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020 (NRSS) The National Road Safety Strategy 2011–2020 represents the commitment of federal, state and territory governments to an agreed set of national goals, objectives and action priorities; setting out a path for action to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes on Australian roads. The Strategy aims to elevate Australia's road safety ambitions through this decade and beyond. It is firmly based on Safe System principles and is framed by the guiding vision that no person should be killed or seriously injured on Australia's roads. As a step towards this long-term vision, the strategy presents a 10year plan to reduce the annual numbers of both deaths and serious injuries on Australian roads by at least 30 per cent. The casualty reduction targets for 2020 are ambitious but achievable. However, the level of trauma reduction that can actually be achieved by 2020 will depend on the costs and policy changes that the community is prepared to accept in return for a safer road transport system. The strategy sets out a range of high-level directions and interventions to drive national road safety performance to the end of 2020. These focus on the main areas where there is evidence that sustained, coordinated effort can lead to large gains. There is also a focus on measures which may not see results for some time but which will lead to long-term improvement. The National Road Safety Strategy represents the commitment of federal, state and territory governments to an agreed set of national road safety goals, objectives and action priorities. It is supported by a comprehensive performance monitoring and reporting regime. National Road Safety Action Plan 2015-2017 The National Road Safety Action Plan is intended to support the implementation of the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020. It addresses key road safety challenges identified in the 2014 review of the

International Standard ISO 39001-2012: Road traffic safety (RTS) management systems – Requirements with guidelines for use was first published in 2012. It provides a coherent, systematic strategic framework for a range of organisations who manage or use the road system as a major part of their activities.

strategy and details a range of priority national actions to be taken by governments over the three years 2015 to 2017. The Action Plan was developed cooperatively by Commonwealth, state and territory transport agencies, and was endorsed by the Transport and Infrastructure Council in November 2014. It does not replace the broader 10-year agenda of the National Road Safety Strategy 2011–2020, but will help to ensure that national efforts in the three years 2015-2017 are focused on strategically important initiatives.
Attachment 1
Actions are grouped as follows: •
Prioritising our investments in infrastructure
•
Improving the safety of our vehicle fleet
•
Encouraging safer road use
•
Advancing the Safe System.
National Health Priorities: The National Health Priority Areas (NHPAs) are diseases and conditions that Australian governments have chosen for focused attention because they contribute significantly to the burden of illness and injury in the Australian community. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) publishes information on the NHPAs and their associated indicators and risk factors, across the Australian population and focusing on particular populations of interest. Injury is one of the nine current National Health Priorities, which are set out in Figure 2. Australian National Health Priorities •
Cancer control
•
Cardiovascular health
•
Injury Prevention and control
•
Mental health
•
Diabetes mellitus
•
Asthma
•
Arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions
• Obesity and Dementia. Transport was the second most common cause of injury across Australia, after falls (2011-12).

Funding opportunities at Federal level: Black Spot funding The Federal Black Spot Program is part of the commitment to reduce crashes on Australian roads. Black Spot projects target those road locations where crashes are occurring most frequently. By funding measures such as traffic signals and roundabouts at dangerous locations, the program reduces the risk of crashes. Programs of this sort are very effective, saving the community many times the cost of the relatively minor road improvements that are implemented.
Ordinary Meeting of Council - 5 September 2016
Page 18
Attachment 1: Banyule Safe Travel Plan 2016-2026
The Black Spot Program makes an important contribution in reducing the national road toll under the National Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan. Local municipalities can apply for funding for specific site upgrades and funding is allocated according to crash history and benefit-cost ratio.
4.2
Item: 4.2
The Australian Government has committed $500 million to the Black Spot Program from 2014-15 to 201819, which includes an additional $200 million over two years from 2015-16 to improve road safety across the nation. New changes to the program’s eligibility criteria has reduced the minimum crash history of sites from 3 to 2 casualty crashes over five years or 0.13 casualty crashes per kilometre per year over 5 years.
Victorian perspective Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2013-22 This strategy outlines an approach that will lead to major improvements in safety on our roads – improvements that will make a dramatic difference, reducing the Victorian road toll by more than 30 per cent to below 200 deaths per year, a number which was thought impossible less than a decade ago. The next sub-section of this report draws on Victorian Government information about the strategy. Towards Zero Towards Zero is a vision for a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads. It acknowledges that as humans, we make mistakes. But when those mistakes happen on our roads we come off second best, because our bodies aren't designed to absorb high impact speeds. That's why we need to ensure we have a safe road system in place. A system that protects us from our own mistakes and those of others. A system that will change road safety for good. Towards Zero group initiatives are coordinated through Victoria's Road Safety Strategy. The associated Victorian Road Safety Action Plan 2013-2016 details the steps to be taken to achieve the vision, targets and direction outlined in Victoria's Road Safety Strategy 2013–22. Towards Zero is in effect an enhanced Safe System approach established by Government and key partners including VicRoads, TAC, Victoria Police, RACV and others.

Attachment 1: Banyule Safe Travel Plan 2016-2026
The Safe System The Victorian Road Safety Strategy and Towards Zero initiatives focus on a Safe System approach: Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe Vehicles, Safe People. This is also the main focus of ISO 39001 and of the National Road Safety Strategy. The Safe System approach to improving road safety involves a holistic view of the road transport system and the interactions among roads and roadsides, travel speeds, vehicles and road users. It is an inclusive approach that caters for all groups using the road system, including drivers, motorcyclists, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and commercial and heavy vehicle drivers. Consistent with our long-term road safety vision, it recognises that people will always make mistakes and may have road crashes—but the system should be forgiving and those crashes should not result in death or serious injury. The Safe System Approach In 2004 VicRoads adopted the Safe System approach in the delivery of its road safety programs. The Safe System is derived from the Swedish model ‘Vision Zero’ which is based on the following principles: •
Road users are likely to make mistakes (even with a focus on education/prevention);
•
System designers and vehicle manufacturers are responsible for building in safety so that when crashes occur, the road design, vehicle and speed limit ensure that crashes are survivable; and,
•
Road users are responsible for obeying the road rules.
The Banyule Safe Travel Plan is aligned with the Safe System approach, including the following key elements:
Aspect
Government and community actions
Safer roads and roadside environments
Improvements to the safety of the roads and roadsides including clear zones, separation between moving vehicles and unprotected road users, intersection improvements, guardrail and lower speed limits.
Safer vehicles
Achieved at statewide and national levels through a market-driven and regulatory approach, and at local level through fleet safety policies and programs.
Safer road users
Road users have an obligation to follow the road rules to ensure their own safety and the safety of other road users. At community level, this involves raising awareness of the risks people face and the steps they can take to reduce the risks, supported by enforcement. These messages are conveyed through local media and community networks, to bring the key principles closer to home and generate a greater sense of community ownership of road safety improvement.

Victoria Police Road Safety Strategy 2013-18 and associated Action Plan 2013-2016 The Victoria Police Road Safety Strategy 2013-2018 provides the policing framework for reducing road trauma and making our roads safer. The Victoria Police Road Safety Action Plan 2013-18 provides detail on the key road user behaviours and road user groups contributing to Victorian road trauma and Victoria Police's approach to tackling these areas. Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2015-2019: The second Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan establishes an ambitious vision for the state: a Victoria free of the avoidable burden of disease and injury, so that all Victorians can enjoy the highest attainable standards of health, wellbeing and participation at every age. Consistent with this vision, and with the objective of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008, the overarching aim of this plan is to reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing. One of the Health Priorities is Preventing violence and injury, which includes as one of its strategic directions - “Continue to reduce the injury-related mortality and morbidity from transport-related injury, workplace hazards, falls (particularly for older Victorians) and sports”. Plan Melbourne Plan Melbourne establishes Melbourne’s long-term strategy for growth and development. It includes key goals and directions for critical city-shaping transport projects. Plan Melbourne 2016 will maintain the focus on:

•
providing for employment in an expanded central city, and state-significant employment clusters and industrial precincts
•
transforming the transport system to support a more efficient, productive city with improved travel options to increase social and economic participation
•
directing growth and increased development intensity to strategic locations
•
achieving a city of ‘20-minute neighbourhoods’
Attachment 1
The transport challenge is described in Plan Melbourne: An additional 7 million extra road, public transport, cycling and pedestrian trips will occur per day on Melbourne’s transport network by 2040. As the city grows, Melbourne’s transport network will be under increasing pressure. We must ensure new housing is supplied in locations with good access to transport to ensure that Melbourne remains equitable and prosperous. According to VicRoads’ Traffic Monitor 2013-2014, in the ten-year period 20052014, traffic volumes on Melbourne freeways increased by 50%.

Banyule Age Friendly Cities and Communities Program Banyule City Council became a member of the WHO Global Network of Age-friendly Cities and Communities in December 2014. This time also marked the commencement of the inaugural Banyule Age-friendly Advisory Committee (BAFCAC) which brings together residents, government and local agencies to support Banyule in being an age-friendly City. The BAFCAC advises Council on a range of issues that may influence policy, service and program development as it affects older people. This advice will assist Council to identify, articulate and respond appropriately to new and emerging issues and to develop and implement plans that benefit the community. Banyule has also established an Age-friendly City Champion program. Interested residents are provided with free training which provides an understanding of active ageing and creating age-friendly communities. The purpose of the Program is to invite ‘our champions’ to assist Council in a number of different activities which will influence and shape Banyule’s age-friendly journey. Several of the Agefriendly City Champions participated in the Safe Travel Forum in March 2016 as part of the development of this Safe Travel Plan. Strategic Transport Planning within Banyule Banyule City Council has developed a range of transport strategies covering various transport topics, many with relevance to safe travel. Council has also expressed advocacy positions in relation to transport issues impacting Banyule and its community. The first Banyule Road Safety Strategy was produced in 2000. Two revisions of the Strategy followed: – the 2003-2006 Strategy and the 2010-2015 Plan. It is intended that the Banyule Safe Travel Plan 2016-

2026 will essentially be a Safe Travel Action Plan that will assist in delivering safer travel, describing key strategic objectives of making City of Banyule a safe, vibrant, and environmentally balanced place to live. The new Plan aligns closely with Council’s recent Banyule Integrated Transport Plan 2015-2035 which was adopted by Council in 2015. Key strategic transport documents adopted by Council that set a vision for safe and sustainable future are set out below.
Attachment 1
Banyule Integrated Transport Plan 2015-2035 This is a plan for managing transport in the City of Banyule over the 20-year period. The BITP promotes a new approach to transport management with focus on modifying travel behaviour and increasing patronage of public transport and active transport rather than continued capital expenditure on road infrastructure. Banyule Bicycle Strategy 2010-2020 Banyule’s Bicycle Strategy is dedicated to developing a combination of appropriate off-road and on-road bicycle networks to ensure cycling becomes a realistic travel choice for all residents and visitors to Banyule. The Bicycle Strategy and Action plan identifies key local bicycle infrastructure required to provide a safe and connected network for all users. Banyule Activity Centre Car Parking Policy and Strategy Banyule's Activity Centre Car Parking Policy (ACCPP) was introduced in 2010 to guide the management of car parking in and around Activity Centres. This is a long term policy applying to all retail and shopping centres in Banyule, with individual parking plans being developed for each Activity Centre over time and in consultation with residents, traders, employees and visitors to the area. Council's Transport Advocacy There are many transport networks and services that operate in Banyule and are run by the State through VicRoads and Public Transport Victoria (PTV). Council often has an opinion on how these might be improved for the ongoing benefit of the Banyule community. At such times Council takes an advocacy role to seek to influence the Victorian Government and state wide agencies on behalf of Banyule’s community. Council has adopted a key Transport Advocacy stance on a range of transport issues.

4. The Banyule community – people, place, risk profile People and place Banyule is home to 125,000 people, over one third of whom are 50 years or older, which is higher than the average for Greater Melbourne. The population is increasing at both ends of the age spectrum: the older age groups, and also among pre-school ages.
Banyule has three Activity Centres and 10 Neighbourhood Centres, as shown in the following map which comes from the Banyule Integrated Transport Plan 2015-2035.

A total of 16% of the population comes from non-English speaking backgrounds, with over 120 different languages spoken at home across Banyule. Over 5,000 people within Banyule need help in their daily lives due to a disability.

Banyule is well served by the Hurstbridge train line which runs the length of the municipality. Radial transport is provided by three orbital Smart Bus services. The 86 Tram runs along Plenty Road which forms part of the western border of the municipality. Most suburbs are served by local buses.
Attachment 1
The terrain is a mixture of flatter areas to the west and along the Yarra River flood plain. Upper Heidelberg Road runs along a ridge, with steep slopes down to the Yarra River in the east and gentler slopes towards the Darebin Creek, forming the western border of the municipality. The terrain is relatively hilly in the north east around Greensborough which can make travel by foot and bike difficult.
Who is at risk in Banyule? This section presents crash analysis mainly from VicRoads CrashStats data base. The database was changed in February 2016, resulting in the latest available detailed data being up to the end of 2013. As the new crash statistics system continues to be developed, more recent data will become available. Most fatal and serious injury crashes in Banyule occur on arterial and sub-arterial roads.

Partnerships
All sectors of our community have a role to play in ensuring that the road and travel environment is safe. A collaborative approach to safe travel is essential to achieving the aims of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan. In developing this plan, a wide variety of community members and agencies gathered at a number of different forums, workshops and meetings to discuss how they could work with Council and other agencies to ensure the safest travel environment for Banyule and its community.

6. Banyule Safe Travel Strategic Directions and Actions Draft strategic directions and actions (A) were developed based on stakeholder consultations and analysis of crash statistics and other information. These were then amended based on feedback from the Banyule Safe Travel Plan forum in March 2016.
Attachment 1
The Banyule Safe Travel Plan takes a holistic approach to promoting safe and healthy travel within Banyule. By taking this broader approach which encompasses all aspects of safe travel, the actions in the Plan will be more effective. The Banyule Safe Travel Plan encourages all road users to demonstrate more responsible behaviour and show courtesy to other road users. The actions listed in the Plan aim to address safe travel in an integrated way by introducing a broad range of initiatives covering infrastructure and behavioural measures. The actions are designed to effect change so that people of all ages and abilities in Banyule will be able to travel on the local road and path network to their chosen destinations safely and with confidence. Implementation of the Action Plan Many of the actions in this plan will require further study and/or consultation. The implementation plan sets the time frames, partnerships, external stakeholders and resources required to enable the successful completion of each of the actions identified within the Plan. Delivery of actions is prioritised into short term (1-2 years), medium term (3-5 years) and long term (6-10 years). Ongoing actions have also been included.

Attachment 2: Banyule Safe Travel Plan Appendix 1: BSTP Consultation Paper Feedback Summary - What you told us
1 Introduction In Council’s development of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan (BSTP), a key stakeholder group (internal Council Units plus Victoria Police and VicRoads) and an external reference group (external agencies with an interest in safe travel in Banyule) were established to guide the development of the plan. Three main phases of consultation were undertaken prior to the release of the final BSTP. These are outlined below.
4.2
Item: 4.2
As part of the Banyule Integrated Transport Strategy development, a number of consultation phases were undertaken, including a Councillor Transport Workshop held in November 2013, followed by a Community Transport Forum held in April 2014. Further consultation was undertaken in relation to the release of a draft Vision and Strategic Directions, and in relation to the release of the draft Banyule Integrated Transport Strategy. All comments/feedback with a safe travel/road safety theme has been extracted from these consultations and processed as part of the development of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan. In October/November 2015, individual consultations took place with a number of Key Stakeholders to the BSTP, including VicRoads, Victoria Police and individual Council units (Early Childhood Services, Youth Services, Community Safety Officer, Traffic and Transport, Transport Planning, Strategic Planning, Senior Service Planning). Phase Two Consultation – Draft Vision and Key Themes In December 2015 and February 2016 a second round of consultation took place. The Key Stakeholder group held a workshop in December 2016 to develop a draft Vision, key Themes and Objectives. Reference Group comment was sought on the draft Vision, key Themes and Objectives. An online survey and a discussion paper on the draft Vision, key Themes and Objectives were used to obtain community feedback. Further community feedback was sought through the auspices of the AgeFriendly Advisory Committee, Multicultural Advisory Committee and the Banyule Bicycle Advisory Committee. The wider Reference Group and other interested parties met at a Forum in March 2016 to discuss the feedback to the draft Vision, key Themes and Objectives and to commence drafting of draft Strategic Direction and an Action Plan. Additionally community feedback from young children was obtained at the Banyule Arty Farty Festival, with the production of a beautiful mural themed on Safe Travel. Phase Three Consultation – Draft Banyule Safe Travel Plan The draft Banyule Safe Travel Plan was presented to Council on 9 May 2016. Council gave approval to commence consultation on the draft Plan over a four week period (10 May to 6 June). The draft Plan included the Strategic Directions and Action Plans. The draft Plan was placed on Council’s website, in Council’s Customer Service Centres and in Ivanhoe, Rosanna, Watsonia and Greensborough libraries. Information on the draft Plan was placed in Council’s community newsletter “The Banner”. Further community feedback was sought through the auspices of the Age-Friendly Advisory Committee, Multicultural Advisory Committee and the Banyule Bicycle Advisory Committee. Feedback and submissions were invited separately from the Key Stakeholders and the Wider Reference Group. This paper outlines the issues and feedback received throughout the consultation process.

2.1 Feedback Summary Issues raised at all phase one consultation events is recorded and collated under four main safe travel themes. These are summarised in the table below.
Attachment 2
Encourage safe walking, cycling and travelling by public transport
Reduce Vehicle Impacts
Think Safe Travel
Shift Community Safety Culture
Stops and stations need to be accessible, well lit, clean and have adequate seating and shelter. Accessibility provisions not enough (wheelchairs, prams) Increase/improve public transport services Safety/security/graffiti concerns on buses/trains Need late buses to meet with late trains Need bus stops/shelters (e.g. near community centres) Safe walking routes/footpaths/crossings needed Safe bike lanes needed on road/ bike paths/ need to be respected/across intersections/ continuous Safety issues/road crossings Mobility scooters need better footpaths Taxis aren’t reliable or friendly for the elderly Walking is difficult for the elderly due to Banyule topography
Responses 3 12 27 6 3 3 28 27 6 2 2 1
Public transport/cycling/walking connections need to be improved e.g. around Latrobe employment cluster Bike parking at stations/bikes on trains/buses need access More local employment/ shopping/better schools/services needed to reduce the need to travel Domination of roadway infrastructure on landscape Need speed limits in activity centres
7
Freight on Rosanna Rd/ Greensborough Hwy - damaging road/ noise until late hours Place making and walking amenity/ lighting at activity centres needed Remove level crossings Advocacy to Vic roads/ state government agencies/ sustainable transport/ road improvement
18
More information/ better advertising on public transport services/walking routes/ council programs/community transport Community is too car centric around activity centres Fund existing cycling strategy Develop a walking strategy Promotion of walk to school/ discourage driving to school/ including safety/ commuter cycling/car share/behaviour change programs Need an emphasis on community sharing of public transport, community spirit/ art on trains, buses/ street art/ community expertise

Other results from this round of consultation were mixed. There are a wide range of viewpoints on safe travel in the Banyule community. A summary of the stand out issues is given in the table below:
Encourage safe walking, cycling and travelling by public transport • Will only be achievable if there is significant focus on infrastructure from both local and state governments. • Need to slow down traffic on Grimshaw Street for this objective to work. • Move in the right direction. • Public transport can be encouraged by ensuring that the various modes of transport link with each other. • Need safe pram/bike/wheelchair access to Ivanhoe Railway Station.
Think Safe Travel • Important to lead by example and show leadership for the Banyule community. • Should read as Safe and Sustainable travel. • Modernise rail signalling to highest modern standards and duplicate single track rail sections. • Kids cannot walk and ride to school if speed limits are too high. • Need to know more about what ‘think safe travel’ means. • Think Safe Sustainable travel.
• Multiple pedestrian access points at railway stations, overpasses/underpasses. Reduce Vehicle Impacts Ordinary Meeting of Council - 5 September 2016
Shift Community Safety Culture Page 62

Attachment 2
4.2
Item: 4.2
• Start to make the roads better for pedestrians/cyclists and it will slowly become easier to walk/ride than drive. Use more education. • More bike/pedestrian only areas in Banyule. • Objectives need to be clear and punchy. • Complete the ring road as a first priority, then ban trucks from Rosanna Road. • We can regulate the speed of traffic and improve the infrastructure but we must remember that the population density is increasing so reducing the journeys is much more difficult.
• Encourage carpooling to events/meetings, and/or make the venues easily accessible to public transport. • Create/support initiatives that make it fun to walk/ride. • Need to be careful of language used in objectives…hard to read and understand. • Segregate footpaths, bicycle paths, and powered vehicle roads wherever possible. • Achieving this shift will require a lot of education. • Think it’s good if people are clearer on the negative impacts, but they will also need to see positive alternatives as part of the equation.
Other comments/feedback • Council should be aware that a large proportion of Banyule community travel long distances to work and so cannot walk or cycle. • Should be equal focus on roads and road alternatives. • Council is allowing for more and more high density housing prior to developing transport infrastructure which will make achieving the long term goals of the travel plan unachievable.

Key Points Feedback from the reference group members highlighted general support with the direction of the Banyule Safe Travel Plan. A summary of this feedback is provided below. Encourage safe walking, cycling and travelling by public transport Different areas/suburbs have differing levels of accessibility/impacts on mobility (i.e. Greensborough terrain etc.) Need to make sure infrastructure doesn’t restrict mobility and/or safety Grade Separations Walking and Public Transport complementary modes Discussion on cycling connections needed – between Activity Centres, Neighbourhood Centres and neighbouring municipalities Need to consider cyclist safety – separate cycle lanes, dooring, attitudes towards cyclists Reduce vehicle impacts Population growth needs to be directed towards activity centres Safe Speed Limits…more 40km/hr zones Reducing the number vehicles on the road Separate bicycle lanes not shared with parking lanes Think safe travel Against the reduction of cars in areas around shopping centres. People cannot carry all their shopping on public transport or bikes. Need to think about and cater for road safety for the elderly. Plan should include the completion of footpaths in Main Street and Grimshaw Street, Greensborough – Issue with brick footpaths and tree roots with people falling over. Shift community safety culture Education around enabling confidence in using different forms of transport More focus on safety and behavioural change programs. More education for cyclists and motorists around sharing the road More education for cyclists and walkers about sharing off-road paths Other Comments Overall Ordinary Meeting of Council - 5 September 2016

Good Vision….could consider just the first part of the vision as the vision. Vision should be longer and tell the story of what we want Banyule to look like in the future. Overall, a good balance of themes and looks to be heading in the right direction. Need to consider this is a safe travel/road safety plan not an Integrated Transport Plan Need to make the themes clearer as to how they relate to safe travelling.
Banyule Safe Travel Forum (8 March 2016) Additionally, the Reference Group and a wider community group were invited to a Banyule Safe Travel Forum on Tuesday 8 March 2016 at Ivanhoe. The Forum allowed for a presentation of the progress of the Safe Travel Plan to date, including analysis of feedback to the draft Vision and Key Themes.

and Think Safe Travel •
Agreement that it is important to plan to have services located in the place that we choose to develop opportunities for people with disabilities or for those who are ageing Places that are identified as good accessible places for people with disabilities. o flat surface, o lots of parking and o close to accessible public transport Connectivity is a priority identified by the group Safe Footpaths should be a high priority Reinstate Good Access is Good Business access audits of shopping strips..will end up with safer walking, signage. Don’t forget about safety of mobility scooter users. Identification of tracks/loops where children or people with a disability are frequently using – monitor for safety- creating safety in numbers.

Re – instate good Access is Good Business (GAGB) access audits of shopping strips. (Walking, signage etc.) There was also a sense of fear from the participants about their safety in public spaces that are not well frequented such as parks. Fear of bike riders on walking tracks/ shared trails. Find new ways to attract people to use these journey loops so that people who are vulnerable do not feel so isolated. Women travelling along on public transport – not feeling safe – need to create a safety culture. Wayfaring issue of road signs – too small and general public signs in Banyule are missing.

Disabled parking and parking • Need more disabled parking in Banyule. • More disabled parking near buses and trains. Heidelberg station only has 2 spaces, and they are the wrong size. • More thought on the safe use of mobility scooters, more and more people are using them. Need to think about pram ramps, widths of footpaths, placement of shopping centre furniture i.e. café tables and chairs.

Education and communication training for public transport drivers, particular buses. Participants liked the idea of a Travellers Aid in Banyule – that would support people to move around Banyule, support to learn how to use public transport Support required getting in and out of transport modes (not just the journey) More audio bus stops needed

Being able to walk or cycle to school or see friends Using buses and trains Slow cars or no cars around schools Being able to play on the streets Teleporters Hot air balloons
Background: Council is developing a new Banyule Safe Travel Plan formerly known as the Banyule Road Safety Strategy. Safe Travel is not just about car crashes and accidents on our roads, the new Plan will now capture all that is safe travel In Banyule, whether you are walking, cycling or catching a bus, tram or train, whether you are on a main road, on your local street, footpath or shared trail, if you are young or not so young. The Vision: Pathways to safer journeys – moving freely via people-friendly streets. The Key Themes: • Encourage walking, cycling and travelling by public transport. • Reduce Vehicle Impacts • Think Safe Travel • Shift Community Safety Culture
The Event: Children to complete a table activity i.e. drawing, making up shapes, words on paper influenced by the Key Questions, then progress to the mural where the artist will assist them in capturing their vision on canvas. Aim: To capture the collective potential of all the children who attend at the artist/mural station. To give children aged 12 and under the opportunity to have a say on safe travel when travelling around and through Banyule. What is important to children, what is their vision, what would they like to change in the future? Who is involved? •
The children who attend at the artist/mural station.

4.2 Feedback Summary Summary of Feedback as follows: Submitter
Feedback
Banyule Resident
I am very happy with the emphasis in the Banyule Safe Travel Plan on improving the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users. I am a daily user of cycling infrastructure in Banyule and also often use public transport as well as walking for transport. It is good to see the safe use of these modes of transport being planned for along with the usual emphasis on driver safety. I think that the actions proposed in the Plan are relevant and important. I particularly like all the actions that support walking, cycling and public transport use. I like the inclusion of the actions to support older pedestrians and those that encourage use of walking and cycling in school children. I also like the learner driver support.
Greensborough Shopping Well-written plan….need to consider parking. (Parking is not addressed Centre Coordinator within the Safe Travel Plan, but addressed in the Integrated Transport Plan) Banyule Resident
In general, happy with the Plan, would like some thinking about beautifying bus shelters ie adding local art, giving bus shelters a community identity/ownership which would in turn reduce vandalism of same.

where people ride or walk. However, feels that the those are certain areas of concern that are not consistent with the plan namely: 1. Beverley Road – would like to see less traffic on road, reduced speeds, more local area management type measures to achieve the above. 2. Bicycle Trail Network – Council needs to consider how it works with Parks Victoria and Bicycle Network to complete a number of commuter grade shared paths on its land, linking with the Main Yarra Trail and Banyule path.

Generally happy with plan, Council’s hierarchy of transport modes is excellent.

Laurence (BSL). A representative from BSL has been invited to the August meeting to present to the committee. 4. Brotherhood of St Laurence – Local Area Coordination (LAC) Update Jo Whitehouse, BSL LAC manager for the Banyule and Nillumbik municipalities attended the meeting to give a presentation on the implementation of LAC to date.
Attachment 2
Jo informed the committee that approximately 9 LAC staff have been employed for the Banyule area are based in Greensborough at the Main street office. LAC staff have been busy undertaking training to learn about their role and the local area. The primary focus of LAC staff is: •
Supporting people with disability to access community and mainstream services and resources.
•
Supporting people who meet the National Disability Insurance Scheme access requirements to navigate and engage effectively with the NDIS.
•
Providing information on assisting mainstream and community services to be more inclusive and supportive of people with disability.
•
Promoting opportunities for people with disability.
Jo reported that the intake of people into the scheme has been a little slower than expected but was anticipated to increase shortly. The BSL is also working on their Community Building plan which will outline how LAC will work to increase community inclusion. BSL mentioned that they are happy for people to either call them or visit the office for more information and assistance. BSL Greensborough Details: Address: 65 Main St, Greensborough.

NDIS Prepare Project Officer Kim Henderson, Council’s NDIS Prepare officer presented to the committee about the work happening to assist individuals with a disability and their families to prepare for the NDIS. It is anticipated that around 216 existing HACC clients have potential to be eligible for the NDIS.

Kim has been making contact with individuals and visiting people to understand what support people are requiring to get ready for the NDIS.
6.8
Item: 6.8
Kim reported that the preparedness of people varies greatly with some people having a reasonable level of confidence and independence to interact directly with the NDIS and others who are likely to require more intensive support to understand the NDIS.
Kim’s role was created by Council in direct response to the feedback received by HACC clients that they were looking for a key person to assist with information and NDIS preparedness. 6. Member Updates Members shared information about the interactions that have had with this NDIS since it commenced in July 2016. Some individuals reported that they have attempted to make contact with the NDIA directly but had been informed that their details were not with the NDIA as they had expected. Others mentioned that they had simply been told that someone would contact them when they or their family member was about to enter the NDIS. There was concern over the lack of clarity on how people can check whether they are on the NDIA’s register of people who are likely to be eligible or whether a person needed to apply to be a part of the NDIS and what process they would need to follow. It was recommend that Council work with the NDIA and BSL to find the latest and clearest advice and to share this via Council’s website and through the advisory committee. Members also reported concern that while much work has happened to assist disability services to prepare for the NDIS, mainstream services such as Leisure Centres and Neighbourhood houses have not been receiving a lot of information. Members discussed that some work had been happening out of Nillumbik Council to work with the National Disability Services (NDS) and leisure centre providers to assist them to get ready for the NDIS. Committee member Jeff Walkey from Belgravia Leisure was a part of this work and agreed to share information with Council should it be of interest to Council’s other leisure centres. Luke Nelson shared information about the local peer action groups that he is facilitating with VALID and encouraged people to promote these groups as a local opportunity for people with a disability to gain support and knowledge around the NDIS. 7.

Attachment 2: Disability Advisory Committee Minutes 10 August 2016
Council officers updated the committee that the 2016/17 Disability Action Plan was now finalised and would be the working plan for the next 12 while the longer term Action Plan 2017 – 2021 is being developed. Officers also presented the 2015/16 Disability Action Plan Achievements report which outlines key projects and initiatives that have happened to support people with a disability.
Attachment 2
Committee members commented that is was good to be able to reflect on the range of projects that have occurred that they have been involved in. Officers noted that the report would be graphically designed and then presented to Council and distributed during September.
8. Next steps with Committee meeting As noted at the June meeting this was the final meeting for the committee. Cr Mullholland expressed her sincere thanks to all members for their dedication and support in working alongside Council and presented members with certificates of appreciation. Officers informed the committee that after the election of a new Council, Councillors determined and are appointed to chair advisory committees. Once this occurs during November it is anticipated that Council will advertise for expressions of interest for people to apply to Council committees.

4.2 Preparation for potential marriage equality plebiscite The committee discussed what Council’s position should be and what role it should play if a marriage equality plebiscite is called. The Committee discussed that there is a risk that the plebiscite could become divisive. Council already has a public position in support of marriage equality and Council’s role should be to advocate for our community to be inclusive and safe for everyone. This could be done through Council’s communication channels as well as through local media. The committee also recommended that, given there are a number of new members of federal parliament since the federal election, it would be valuable to write letters to all the new members to advise them of Council’s support for marriage equality. Recommendation to Council: That Council write letters to all new members of the new Federal Parliament, advising them of Council’s support for marriage equality.
4.3 Review of Advisory Committee This was the final meeting of the term of this committee so some time was spent reflecting on the most significant achievements. Many members reflected on the growth of IDAHOBIT events as a key success. Reflections included: - The support from Montmorency Traders Association to host the event - Hosting the IDAHOBIT party in the local community and on a main street - The acknowledgement and surprise from local community members and residents that Council is so supportive and is doing so much to promote equality and inclusion - Getting the Commissioner for Gender and Sexuality to attend the IDAHOBIT event in Montmorency - Participation of schools in the flag raising ceremonies and the growth in attendance numbers at the ceremonies over the years Other highlights included: - Advocacy around marriage equality and safe schools coalition - Getting the committee started in the first place - Acknowledging the Orlando shooting through flying the flag at half mast - Participation in pride march and the branding through Banyule tshirts - Getting the Commissioner for Gender and Sexuality out to speak to Council staff

The key message from the committee was the importance of maintaining the momentum that has been built. The Committee also suggested that, if a second term of the committee is established, effort should be made to have representation from different groups within the LGBTI community as well as a range of age groups represented.

Participating in the committee has provided an opportunity to learn about the diversity of groups in Banyule

The Committee has played a key role in assisting Council to promote and champion multiculturalism
-
Bringing the multicultural committee together with other advisory committees was positive
Opportunities for improvement include: -
Trying to have youth representation on the next Committee
-
Ensuring the focus of the committee goes beyond the 3081 area and trying to get a spread of committee members from across the municipality
-
At the beginning of the term of the next committee, spend time workshopping definitions around multiculturalism and what the role of Anglo-Celtic communities is within this
-
Having more representation from more people of diverse cultural backgrounds
-
Build in more opportunities for committee members to share updates such as through having a standing agenda item on ‘member updates’
-
When other service units of Council want to consult with the committee on issues or projects, it might work well to break the committee up into smaller groups and have small workshops
-
Have an icebreaker / get to know you session at the first committee to build relationships across committee members and create an atmosphere of trust and openness
-
Look for opportunities for more collaboration between the advisory committees

New Business 16.30 Environmental Art Exhibitions (Colin James) Colin James and Steph Neoh from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department spoke to BEAC regarding an environmental art exhibition in 2017. Expression of interests are currently being sought from artists around the theme of water. The exhibition will be promoted in line with the seven seasons of the Wurundjeri. There are a range of design options for the exhibition. Colin and Steph sought BEAC interest in assisting with this. Initially they would like to understand what dates would be suitable and what existing environmental events it could align with. The exhibition will be added as a standing item on the agenda until the best method for BEAC’s input is determined. This may, for example, be a smaller working group. Action: Add as a standing item to Agenda. 16.23 Town Hall - LED Lighting (John Milkins) John noted that the issue of LED lighting in the town hall had initially been raised by Cr.

16.24 Poison in the Darebin Creek (John Milkins) John Milkins noted that around 100 eels in Darebin Creek were killed during June. An investigation by EPA Victoria found that this was likely due to a pesticide release into the creek. Melbourne Water removed all eels from the area. 16.26 Habitat Protection Opportunities (Kate Roberts) Kate Roberts introduced this agenda item, querying if habitat is destroyed in one location, can it be replicated in other areas? Kate encouraged BEAC members to be aware of habitat destruction and in particular areas in Banyule which are under notable pressure. John spoke about the City Plan, the Wildlife Corridor Program and the Urban Forest Plan, which together dictate revegetation activities and tree selection in Banyule. There was broad discussion around this agenda item and how BEAC could best contribute to habitat protection outcomes. A statement of support was suggested, as was the development of a subcommittee. Guest speakers will be brought in for this item, with Julie and Jane contacting possible presenters. Action: JM to send through Report on Swift Parrot when complete. Julie and Jane to investigate possible guest presenters Include as standing item on future Agenda.

Tom Melican) John Milkins presented on the Take2 Pledge, a state government initiative which aims to encourage climate action across the community from local government authorities to individuals, community groups and businesses. John noted the Council’s existing target as being carbon neutral by 2020 (from a 2013 baseline). Recommendation: BEAC provided in-principle support for the Pledge, noting it is compatible with Council’s existing target. 16.29 Beyond Zero Emissions – Energy Plan (Peter Castaldo) Following on from last month’s meeting, Peter Castaldo queried whether it was possible to have a presentation from BZE to discuss energy reduction initiatives. Peter requested Council’s Energy Officer present to BEAC to allow the Committee better insight into Councils energy plans. Action: John will distribute the Energy Plan and supporting Report for BEAC to read and provide recommendations. BZE and possible presentations will be determined on the basis of these recommendations. 16.33: Regular Meeting or Grants Awards Night (Sian Gleeson) BEAC requested that their usual meeting is delayed one week to allow those who were interested to attend the Grants Awards Night. Action: Sian to change next meeting date to Wednesday 21.
