tonight's meeting

00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.719
CEO through you Mayor I have a potential

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.639
for a perceived and a general conflict

00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.159
of interest in regards to item 12.1

00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.560

Theatre um due to my wife's business

00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.080
interests uh she works in the industry

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.080
and is sometimes a competitor to Live

theater I haven't been involved in the

00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:59.800
preparation of the report and I know

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.400
that the material is publicly available

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.080
I therefore propose that I will continue

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.759
to sit in the room tonight when this

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.120

Nyaguy um thank you Mayor I would like to

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.479
declare a  conflict of interest in

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.240
the matter tabled on the 4th of October

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.080

for the reference committee I think I

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.159
have a general conflict of interest in

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:29.800
the matter which I failed to declare

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.280
time I don't believe that conflict of

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.639
interest resulted in me acting in a

00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.520
manner contrary to the public duty but I

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.520
would like to place on the record and I

00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.280
aim to declare that um and other

00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.000
conflicts in the future um for the

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:44.759
contract of context I have a close

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.080
association with one of the people who

our bike corridors including collecting

00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.320
transport counts on key Ro key routes

00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:52.759
which have shown an overall increase in

00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.120
people riding bikes and cargo bikes

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.360
between winter last year and this year

we also continue to Monitor and respond

00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.080
to crashes and reports from the

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.519
community about concerns um you've

00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.879
to item 10.2 incremen safety Improvement

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.000
project

00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.559
Peter Peter are you

00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.000
online has he done unmute me n

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.679
yet I'm here now good I hear you now

00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:03.759
thank

00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.519
you uh look I support the recommendation

00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.320
that we got to consultation on options

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:09.960
one and three about

00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.240
incoming I don't intend to go into the

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:13.919
merits because you're not making a

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.360
decision tonight simply sending the

00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.240
matter out for consultation but I would

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.200
like to make three quick points first of

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.720
all we're dealing with public space not

00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:25.919
private property and so it is

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.600
appropriate to consult on what use gives

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.120
the best public benefit uh and we should

00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.039
note that what may have been the best

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.519
mix 50 years ago may not be the best mix

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.320
now secondly we're Consulting on a

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.039
sensible bik infrastructure

00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.600
proposal this is a major transport

00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.720
Corridor linking up with the silda road

00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.120
bike Network and it's the highest

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.080
priority Corridor in council's

00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.399
integrated transport strategy so it's

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.639
not like the sort of random ideas that

00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.759
Vick roads implemented

00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:03.360
recently and thirdly there's significant

00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.559
public support broad-based support of

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.919
Port philli residents who want to be

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.720
heard mes University

00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.120
surveyed and they found that 71% of your

00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.639
constituents were interested in riding a

00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.720
bike uh but they had concerns about

00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.759
safety and they said that they would

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.159
ride a bike if physically separated bik

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.120
lanes were provided like is proposed in

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.000
option one look go into much more of the

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.519
details later and present a whole lot of

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.279
hard data but I think at this stage it's

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.000
sufficient to say that counil should

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.759
open discussion on the best use of this

00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.200
important public space thank you thank

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:47.159

00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.080
thank you and um I've been picking up

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.919
rubbish on the silda West Beach between

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.360
the pier and the West Beach Pavilion for

00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.840
the last 3 years and generally I do it

00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.720
every second day um I volunteer my

00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.120
services it's fine I'm quite happy to do

00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:48.080
that and um I generally pick up between

00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.600
two and three bags of rubbish and I'm

00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.080
talking about Supermarket bags this size

00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.919
okay and uh as I say I've been doing

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.559
this every second day and and then I had

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.639
a holiday and I was away for 5 weeks and

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.399
when I came back and went down to the

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.600
beach I was absolutely

00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.720
disgusted it was smelly it had a toxic

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.080
spill in it and the rubbish was

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.279
equivalent to at least 20 bags of and

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.399
this is fine little plastic rubbish and

00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.960
I generally pick up in the area that the

00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.240
tractors don't necessarily go to because

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.320
I'm round the edges and I go out onto

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:29.279
the

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:33.240
um sand areas as well too so the tox

00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.279
toxic mess that was there was like a

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.159
scum it was covering over the seaweed

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.960
and it was in mounds and it stunk to

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.840
high heaven and I looked around and I

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.480
realized I was the problem it was me

00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.320
because I'd been picking up all this

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.039
rubbish and would have normally done

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.919
that over 5 weeks and so you know I went

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.600
down there and bingo there's the 20 b

00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.279
bags of rubbish that I haven't picked up

00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.240
and I thought well you know this is just

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.840
not good enough you know what what can

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.639
you do I mean I've rung um Melbourne

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.000
water because they often uh do cleanups

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.720
around the Corduroy drain that comes

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.399
down near the pier and yes they assure

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:18.879
me they're going to do something I've

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.159
rung the council as well too and they

00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.279
refer to the tractors picking up stuff

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.679
but look it's just not good enough there

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.600
has to be more to be yeah thank you very

00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:32.159
much for all the time you do spend

00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:33.480
cleaning the beach but we'll have an

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:38.240
answer for you I refer to Simon Hill

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.559
please thank you for your question

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.200
through you Mayor sinur West Beach is

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.200
cleaned of seaweed every day bi

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.840
mechanical loader and then rate by our

00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:56.759
beach cleaner on at least a weekly

00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:58.799
schedule due to the Natural water

00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.720
movement and Longshore drift activity

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.000
here we see a lot of seaweed and litter

00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.480
deposited along this section of the

00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.480
foreshore seaweed is stockpiled to allow

00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.039
it to drain of excess water before it is

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.879
transported to be disposed of at an

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.960
appropriate landfill site the stockpile

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.399
is removed

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.039
daily I'm not aware of any toxic waste

00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.799
in this location um but I I am happy to

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.360
investigate this should I be provided

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.200
with further information on the type of

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.399
waste referred thank

thank you we're going to go back online

00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.440
though to Jazz Bradley speaking to item

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.279
10.2 Jazz can you hear

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.600
us I hope you can hear me now yes thank

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.639
you sorry about that excellent I'm sorry

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.120
I don't know what happened there um look

00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.039
my partner and I have owned and operated

00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.360
an audiovisual hire and sales business

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.440
from our shop on incomin street for 33

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.480
years um since

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.960
1990 and our business entails loading

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.720
and unloading large PA systems and other

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.759
heavy bulky equipment directly from our

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.319
shop into client vehicles uh and this

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.119
happens all day every day of the week um

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:21.680
just to give you an example one of our

00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.640
most popular systems is a Bose F1 PA

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.200
which consists of two speakers um they

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:28.839
measure almost a meter in height and

00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:30.480
almost half a meter in width and they

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.039
weigh in at exactly 20.4 kilos each plus

00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.920
two subwoofers which weigh 25.8 five

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.640
kilos each plus an addition uh an extra

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.160
heavy bag of stands and leads and

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.920
monitors and all the rest of it so

00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.359
that's a total of six large heavy items

00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.359
going out with every single system that

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.759
we hire on a busy Saturday we can have

00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.559
up to 12 systems going out so my

00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:55.200
concerns are that if clients are forced

00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.880
to park any distance away from the

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.200
business um espe especially across the

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.599
road this could potentially cause more

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.279
accidents than Council are hoping to

00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.640
prevent um by putting in the new or

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:09.000
proposed bike Lanes um outside our shop

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.359
if you take um our busy Saturday as an

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.079
example um those 12 systems each with a

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.559
total of six large heavy items would

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.319
involve our clients making a total of 72

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.960
Crossings of very busy incom and Street

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.119
while lugging this equipment to Vehicles

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.440
plus the same again back to our shop so

00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.000
if clients are forced to try and carry

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:30.720
all this acrossing street through the

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.079
traffic this is really risky and it's a

00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.799
clear whs issue from from my perspective

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.480
so I guess the bottom line is how can we

00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.359
continue to safely run our business if

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:41.960
there's no longer any parking outside

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.279
our shop as has been the case for the

00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.680
past 33

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.960

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.880
name is Helen helay and I live in BAC

00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.640
claba um my question tonight relates to

00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.920
um the resumption of the council control

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.759
of uh the management of the median strip

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.440
in Brighton Road in

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.079
2019 uh it was agreed and uh a proposal

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.680
was put and agreed by uh Vic GRS that 67

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:46.559
new trees be um planted into the medians

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.720
in Brighton Road that uh was not ever

00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.079
done because the council withdrew the

00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.039
agreement but I now see that Council has

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.599
resumed activity and I thank the council

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:01.839
for doing that because it was very

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:03.559
depressing going out there and seeing

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.799
all the rank grass and I noted that uh

00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.720
Bay Street is now undergoing a a massive

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.920
reconstruction of of your median strip

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.480
so my question is when can we see our 67

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.599
trees and uh the work that needs to be

00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.319
done on the other trees that are in the

00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:25.720
median strip which also need maintenance

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.480
work done on them thank you mad thank

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:31.519

Port Phillip at this point the

arrangement does not include tree

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.559
maintenance and as such such there are

00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.880
no plans uh for Council to plant new

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.400

CLS on income and street we encourage

council members to move forward with

00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.200
Community consultation on this important

00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.480
project we reate reiterate as

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.240
highlighted uh in council's own report

00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.000
the majority of residents are eager to

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.640
embrace cycling if they have access to

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.799
Safe separated bike Lanes furthermore

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.839
it's worth recognizing the broad impact

00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.240
of your decision by taking the lead in

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.160
creating these safe bike Lanes you can

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.079
catalyze positive change if Port philli

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.079
successfully builds these Lanes on the

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.839
incen street it will pressure Glenn Ira

00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:28.000
to follow suit this in turn will open up

00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:29.960
a secure East West Route for Riders

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.759
spanning from the city all the way to

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:34.440
danong please build a safe separated

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.440
bike lane not just for the residence of

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.039
Port philli but for the greater

00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.680
Southeastern Community thank

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.759
you thank you I call upon Simon Baldwin

Committee Member for the port Philip bar

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.559
huses group I'm speaking in favor of

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.039
option one to be included for

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.400
consultation of the uh incent safety

00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.880
program um this option provides the most

00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:07.960
provision for safety improvements and

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:09.200
aligned with council's vision of

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:11.480
increasing walking and cycling trips

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:13.200
over the span of its transport scheme up

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:17.200
to 2028 the data provided in the report

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.720
um shows that pedestrians and bike

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.839
riders are at huge risk of being hosit

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:23.680
hospitalized if involved in a collision

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:25.799
on this road one of the most dangerous

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.359
in the council area the separated aspect

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.319
of the safety program will also link

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.000
with the almost finished Siller Road

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:33.640
Lanes helping to form a reliable and

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.480
continuous Network for residents and

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.599
visitors I also ask the councils

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.519
disregard option for or no change uh the

00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:43.400
safety issues associated with this

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.640
stretch of income and Street means that

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.319
voting to continue with normal business

00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.200
on this road will be negligent at best

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.839
and potentially deadly at worst please

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:53.839
vote for the safety of our residents for

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:55.960
sustainable transport and include option

00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.440

00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:30.880
the integrated transport strategy has

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.599
designated Inman Street as a vital

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:35.599
micromobility and active transport

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.960

ninous mark designated it a black lens

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.480
Street this is not just a statistic it's

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:54.680
a call for immediate

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:57.240
action safety is not a luxury it's a

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.960
fundamental to right option one with

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.640
separated Lanes protected intersections

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.279
and lower speeds is not just a choice

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.240
it's a

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:09.119
necessity safety however is just a

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.799
beginning option one is a holistic

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:13.640
investment in our invest in our

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:16.599
environment and quality of life it

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:19.920
accommodates 26 additional trees

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.359
contributing to the the tree canopy and

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:24.759
providing additional shade in full

00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:27.039
alignment with Council desired

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:28.400
environment

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.960
outcomes this is more than just Greenery

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.960
it's a tangible step toward a

00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.359
sustainable

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:36.799
future but let's talk about the daily

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.680
impact on our lives it's not just about

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.759
cyclists option one ensures our children

00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:46.160
can work or ride to school safely option

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.599
one means residents can enjoy outdoor

00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:51.000
spaces without the constant worry of

00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:52.039
traffic

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.279
hazards option one provides a beautiful

00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.359
Tre lined Street which will boost the

00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:01.400
local economy by increasing food traffic

00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:02.400
to

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.240
businesses parking is not the only thing

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:06.119
that

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.680
matters option one is an investment in a

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.000
future where our community can Thrive

00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:12.799

00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.200
socially I highlight the concerning

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:18.440
detail thank you very much for coming

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.200
tonight and adding your part thank you

00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:24.279
thank you I call upon Ellen Martin

00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.519
speaking to item

00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.599
10.2

00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:32.039
hi

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.759
Ellen hi good evening my name is Ellen

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.599
Martin I live in corfield North on Incan

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.839
Road um every day so two days a week I

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.640
cycle into the city to get to Melbourne

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:44.599
uni down incin Road and then the other 3

00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:46.519
days a week I cycle back the other way

00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:49.480
to go to work when I tell people that I

00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.000
cycle to work I get all sorts of

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:53.519
reactions people tell me people are

00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:55.880
worried people tell me I'm brave but

00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:57.319
mostly people just tell me that they're

00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.599
too too scared to do that themselves um

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:02.400
the reason me and my partner do it is

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:04.160
because we can't afford a car we're both

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:06.720
full-time students but we're also deeply

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.599
concerned about the environment and I

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:10.240
want other people to be feel the same to

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.799
feel confident to cycling on roads so

00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:14.279
that's why I encourage Council to

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:16.039
consider putting option one forward for

00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:18.200
Community consultation it increases

00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.599
safety it's best practice it will create

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:24.240
safer streets for everyone so not just

00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.279
for cyclists but for pedestrians car

00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:28.319
users and everyone

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.319
and we know that residents here are

00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:32.839
interested in cycling we've done the

00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:34.759
surveys people want to cycle more but

00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:35.759
they're scared they're going to be hit

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:37.480
by cars and that's why I encourage

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.119
Council to put forward option one for

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.519
Community consultation thank you thank

00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.000
you I call upon Justin Halliday from

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.359
pean speaking to item

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.599
10.2 hi

00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:54.720
Justin thank you mayor uh councilors

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.480
officers uh tonight I'm representing pan

00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:00.119
and our member organizations speak to uh

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.720
to item 10.2 and uh voice our support

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:05.680
for the protected bike Lanes in incom

00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:07.279
street as part of the incom street

00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:09.599
safety Improvement project um installing

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:11.319
the proect to bikel as we've heard from

00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:13.400
others will have significant Community

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:16.559
benefits especially for pedestrians and

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.680
cyclists it will increase tree canopy

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.319
cover it will promote active transport

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.319
and the health and well-being uh

00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:24.759
benefits that go along with that and it

00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:26.759
will lead to urban renewal along the

00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:27.960
stretch of road

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.640
we specifically support option one in

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:32.559
this particular case because it will

00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:35.559
deliver the most benefits in this area

00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:37.279
we also specifically do not support

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.480
option four at all because this option

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:42.359
promotes the unnecessary storage of

00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:45.000
private vehicles in the public realm and

00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:47.319
it prioritizes this over the safety of

00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:49.559
pedestrians and and cyclists who are

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.880
vulnerable Road

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:55.640
users um in the council report uh the uh

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:57.960
option one is reported that it will lead

00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:00.319
to very high occupancy rates of parking

00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.519
along Inman Street um however the report

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:05.720
doesn't take into account the behavioral

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:07.720
factors that lead to this parking

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.759
Behavior along Inc Street we've analyzed

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:12.839
this entire stretch ourselves and there

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:15.079
are only nine residences and one block

00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.960
of flats that lack uh parking off street

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:21.359
parking along incom Street and this

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.440
includes many of the uh businesses that

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:25.440
we've heard from earlier as well they

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.640
have access to off street parking or

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.559
rear access that they could use instead

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.799
um when we're talking uh in other areas

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:36.880
such as increment Street around Aldi the

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:39.519
report does not uh account for the 70

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:41.640
car parking spaces that Aldi has

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.519
available to customers Ali customers

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:46.079
habitually park on the street because

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.119
it's available to them when we with the

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:51.119
installation of the B Clane those

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.680
people's behavior would change and they

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:55.240
would be encouraged to park underneath

00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.960
Aldi instead of on the street

00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:00.599
um finally there are other large

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:02.160
businesses in the

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.799
street thank you that have parking

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.799
available again we recommend option one

00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:09.480
I see this on my table so what's the

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.039
color coding uh the code is red for no

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:14.119
parking okay uh green is they have

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:16.440
parking available to them and blue is

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:19.119
businesses okay along that stretch

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:20.960
thanks

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:24.599
for all right a call upon Julie clck

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.440
speaking to item 10.2 increments safety

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:31.039
Improvement project hi Julie hi Heather

00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.960
um so um I'm Julie Clutterbuck from

00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.640
Elwood I'm speaking on behalf of Port

00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.880
Philip bicycle users group tonight um I

00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:42.680
really welcome council's addressing this

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:44.319
which is the most dangerous stretch in

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.400
the city of Port Phillip um as Matthew

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:49.559
mentioned this is a black stretch with

00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:53.599
33 crashes in the last 5year

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:58.119
period um OST roads and Vic roads have

00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:01.279
guidance on what a road with this level

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:03.759
of vehicle movements which is at the

00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:05.799
last count was

00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:08.599
6,300 in One Direction per

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:12.720
day and at this speed at the moment 50k

00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.720
is now but even at 40ks an hour should

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:17.839
have and that guidance says that it

00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.920
should have a completely segregated bike

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.160
lane uh not a paint painted

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.359
buffer and this is consistent with a

00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:29.119
safe system approach which means that we

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:30.960
we can't get rid of human error but we

00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:32.960
can mean that when people do make a

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:34.799
mistake it's not a mistake that leads to

00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.279
a serious injury or even a death um so

00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.759
that means that if we have the bike

00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:43.079
separated by a concrete buffer you know

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:44.519
if someone does have a moment of

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.079
inattention then a mistake that happens

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:48.839
won't lead to injuries and so that's

00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:51.880
what we're commending here um only two

00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:53.559
of the options presented actually

00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.279
conform to this standard um the

00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:58.599
situation is is at the moment with just

00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:01.119
a painted B Lane doesn't conform to this

00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:02.359
standard and that's what we see

00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:05.200
reflected in this very high injury rate

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.119
so I I um welcome this going out to

00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:10.759
public consultations and I also commend

00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:13.480
option one to the council thank you

00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.680
Julie I call upon yai

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:24.160
medini hi

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.960
Ai Good Day Council um

00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:31.119
um um first of all I'm not from the area

00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.599
but I empathize with my friend Ellen if

00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:35.200
you could say name and sub that my good

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.559
start please of course uh yai Med um

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:41.920
Mone ponds thank you um so yeah I

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:43.480
empathize with the situation of my

00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:48.000
friend Ellen who has to endure the um

00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:50.200
the unsatisfactory bike Lanes along

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.079
Inman Road um The Proposal is of

00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:55.680
interest to me as a cyclist and and my

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.000
view that the road is essentially a

00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.359
public space that everyone should own as

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.920
someone who has been in a car accident

00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:06.559
um as a cyclist who has been um almost

00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:07.839
run over by an

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.759
SUV um I think with option one being

00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:13.839
proposed here there's a benefit in

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:15.720
completing the cycling Network as

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:18.279
proposed by the the Department of

00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:21.480
Transport um the fact that accidents

00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:24.559
continue to happen means that people are

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:26.039
consciously choosing these routes

00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:29.000
because they're conven I and direct this

00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:32.559
is an important uh movement Corridor um

00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.119
and it's a disservice to people um if

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:39.200
the council continues to uh on the path

00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:41.839
of inaction and unfair as well if cars

00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:45.039
are and cars continue to be privileged

00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.799
so um with that protected uh the option

00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:50.720
and option one of protected bike Lanes

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.000
is I think a necessity um if we're going

00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:55.880
to avoid entrenching the idea that

00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.680
cycling is simply for fearless and um

00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:04.240
confident cyclists thank you thank you

00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:06.559

getting the contracts completed I just

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:53.199

the

of

00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.599

put up 18 months ago or 12 months ago um

00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:25.679
with regard to the condition of our

sports playing Fields um as well as a

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:32.239
new contractor are you able to outline

00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:34.920
some of the other additional resources

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.000
we have put on as a council to

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:40.960
specifically deal with our Sports ground

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:43.280
maintenance um some of the

00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:46.719
in-house um experience and knoow that

00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:47.679
we've

00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:50.679
bought um on the onto the team

00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:52.880
to to deal with the condition of our

00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:55.159
sporting

00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:57.920
Fields three mayor um thanks for the

00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.440
question yes we now have a full-time um

00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:04.079
open space and turf management officer

00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:06.400
who is qualified in turf management he

00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.480
oversees the management and maintenance

00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:10.159
of our Sports field so that he's a new

00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:12.960
staff member a new EFT and we also have

00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.719
a Turf irrigation officer um that works

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:19.039
across all of open space but include

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:20.960
Sports grounds and that was again an

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.760
additional EFT so we have two additional

00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:25.440
staff

00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:27.039
members

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:31.159
any other question um and in terms of uh

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:34.159
the new contract previously as my

00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:35.920
understanding it was it was the

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:37.800
contractor that set the program of Works

00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.400
to occur at each ground under the new

00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:44.119
contract it'll be our in-house people

00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:47.119
that will set the works to occur at each

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:48.800
ground but the contractor then will

00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:50.760
carry out those works as determined by

00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:53.039
us internally here that's the difference

00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:55.800
between these these two contracts if we

00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:58.800
were to nut it down to one or two

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.639
points through that is

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.000
correct thank you any further

00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:06.960
questions if not councilors we have an

00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:08.199
officer's recommendation would someone

00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:09.519
like to move this or something else

00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:11.960
councelor Martin to move or I assume

00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:14.840
this moving this and councelor bond to

00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:16.840
Second councelor Martin would you like

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.280
to speak to it as someone who spends all

00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:21.239
his winter Saturdays and Sundays running

00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:22.760
on football grounds right across our

00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.599
municipality I'm probably more familiar

00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:26.960
than most with the way the grounds have

00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:28.559
been looked after in the last 20 years

00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:30.920
or so that I've been running on them and

00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:33.000
I thank councelor Bon for identifying

00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:34.039
some of the issu that have been raised

00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:36.280
with me long before I became on on on

00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.760
Council where there was a feeling among

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:40.360
some of our sporting clubs that perhaps

00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:41.599
our grounds weren't quite at the

00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:44.039
standard that they would like and

00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:45.880
rightly or wrongly they sometimes felt

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:48.400
that the uh contractors didn't quite

00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:49.360
understand their needs now whether

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:50.800
that's correct or not I don't know but

00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:52.159
that was certainly the feeling that they

00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.280
got I can also assure everyone that in

00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:56.559
the last few months this there's

00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:59.079
certainly been a much more positive

00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:00.960
attitude towards our Council and our

00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:03.159
Council staff by the sports club

00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:05.280
official than has been in recent years

00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.400
and I know that our Council officers

00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:09.480
have been taking the concerns of our

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:11.920
sporting clubs very very seriously hence

00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:14.280
the motion that's in front of us tonight

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.199
I thank Council bond for the motion that

00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:18.880
perhaps triggered this process um I

00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:20.159
thank him for the question that he asked

00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:22.880
which are excellent and I'm aware that

00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:24.559
there will be a transition program so it

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:25.800
won't simply be a matter of the current

00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:27.119
contractor walking out the door and the

00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:28.519
new contractor starting the next day

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:30.079
cold there'll be there'll be a Handover

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:31.559
period which will ensure that things go

00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:34.119
smoothly and I know that our sporting

00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:36.559
clubs are eagerly awaiting um the ride

00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:37.840
out of the new contractor and looking

00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:39.880
forward to some very good summer and

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.079
winter sports seasons in

00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:45.440
2024 thank you Council Bond would like

00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:46.800
to speak to

00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:49.039
it just very briefly I know this is

00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.480
something Council Martin and I um been

00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:53.719
following up on for the probably the

00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:55.239
last 12 months we've each been walking

00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:57.639
various sport in fields weekly or

00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:02.079
fortnightly for um most of the time

00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:04.960
since about this time last year um we're

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:06.639
probably as a council aware that the

00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:07.920
condition of our sporting Fields hasn't

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:09.599
been as good as we would like it to have

00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:11.760
been um so we have put on extra

00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:14.480
resources we are making a change to the

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:17.480
to the contractor and with the aim of

00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:19.199
getting better quality sporting fields

00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.440
for our our sporting teams um there are

00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:23.880
a lot of challenges here cuz we have

00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:26.559
seen massive amounts of growth in sport

00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.320
in our city um particularly with female

00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.039
participation our grounds are being used

00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:33.119
more than ever before with matches and

00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:35.039
training um we also have to deal with

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.039
those couple of months when all the

00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:38.719
sporting fields in Albert Park are not

00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:41.360
available for use due to the Grand Prix

00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:42.960
and a lot of those clubs look to us to

00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.400
be able to provide them with temporary

00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.480
sporting fields for training and matches

00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:48.760
for the couple of months that the Grand

00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:51.519
Prix on so our our grounds do get a very

00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:54.679
good workout and hopefully we can uh

00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:56.840
cater for all the all the need that he's

00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:58.559

Sports abls at a a very good standard

00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:05.320
for the vast majority of them and at a

00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:07.400
very very high standard for the for the

00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:08.880
one or two grounds we have that are

00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.159

00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:13.639

00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.480
flourish under this new contract thank

refer to SUVs are we talking about the

00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.519
really large like Rams and and Dodgers

00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:03.000
and that which I'm not sure that we want

00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:04.639
to encourage in our municipality because

00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:06.199
they take up more space than the average

00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:08.079
one so I guess my first question is is

00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:10.559
it just the normal SUVs or is it those

00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:11.599
really

00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:15.159
large the pick up trucks uh so I might

00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:17.719
answer this in two three I might answer

00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.239
this in two parts so the current road

00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:22.840
width or the parking width is about 1.9

00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.360
M so the um Australian standard for

00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:28.719
parking is 2.0 as an absolute minimum

00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:32.840
with a recommendation of plus 2.1 to 2.3

00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:36.280
um a medium size SUV ranges between

00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:40.079
about 1.85 m in width to around about 2

00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.679
m with larger SUVs not sort of you know

00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:47.159
the extra large SUVs can be um around 2

00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:50.119
m in width so that protrudes into the

00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:52.039
existing bike

00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:54.920
lanes and could I ask another um

00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:56.760
question yes please

00:45:56.840 --> 00:45:59.920
uh in going to this consult we haven't

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.920
yet made it if we were to consider um

00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.400
option one we haven't made a decision on

00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.119
which side the bike pass would go on and

00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:10.800
parking be removed from have we yet or

00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:13.719
was that would that would be part of the

00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:15.800
assessment um with businesses and that

00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:17.679
in a more detailed design stage should

00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.000
we go there so through you m the current

00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:24.840
um proposal is the northern side um

00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:25.960
however that could obviously

00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.199
investigated through um additional

00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:30.280
design work but at the moment we're

00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:31.800
proposing that that be happening on the

00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:34.320
Northern side so that is the opposite

00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.440
side to um some of the businesses that

00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:38.360
we've heard isn't it that's the that's

00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:40.760
the

00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:43.400
um yeah that's that's the opposite side

00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:45.960
to Aldi isn't it the northern side just

00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:49.119
City through you mayor that's correct uh

00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:51.079
the southern side is the side that Aldi

00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.440
is on yeah so that not the business

00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:57.320
we've heard from to tonight uh and could

00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:00.519
I ask even in um I have seen in other

00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.960
designs in bike lanes for if there was

00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:05.360
to be bubble um would we be considering

00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:07.320
in some of the detail design for future

00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:09.039
some of those little Pathways out that

00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:11.480
there is opportunity who do need to load

00:47:11.559 --> 00:47:13.800
things into the car to be able to wheel

00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:15.800
things out is that would that be part of

00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:20.199
the design Fus uh through May currently

00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.480
we've got um you know separators through

00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:24.440
that area there's opportunities to

00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:26.239
adjust through detailed designed to

00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:29.400
provide additional ramping Andor access

00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:32.519
points thank you thank

00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:34.679
you any further

00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.920
questions if not I'm looking for a

00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:38.320
counselor to move the officer's

00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:39.719
recommendation or something else

00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:42.239
councelor Martin to move who would like

00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:44.199
to Second the officer's recommendation

00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:47.920
councelor Baxter thank you all right

00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:49.199
councelor Martin would you like to speak

00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:51.760
to it firstly thank you to the officers

00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:53.840
who prepared this quite detailed report

00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:55.199
and the numerous discussions and

00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:57.440
briefings that officers and councils

00:47:57.519 --> 00:47:59.800
have had as we've come to a decision as

00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:01.199
to what is appropriate to go out to

00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:03.480
public consultation can I thank all

00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:04.880
those people who come along and spoken

00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.320
to us this evening I mean I have I'll

00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.000
explain my particular views about what I

00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:10.039
think should happen but I think it's

00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:12.000
important that we as councilors listen

00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:13.320
to All Views and we've heard people

00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:15.320
tonight speaking about concerns about

00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:16.880
parking just as we've heard people

00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:18.199
coming along tonight talking about

00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:20.280
concerns about the dang of not having

00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:22.679
separated bike Lanes by putting these

00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.159
two options out to consultation we give

00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:26.760
members of our community who've

00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:28.440
supported both of those options a chance

00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:31.599
to come along today and talk to us about

00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:33.719
why they believe separated bike lanes

00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:34.960
are very important and I'll add to that

00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:37.760
in just a moment but also um for those

00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:39.159
people who'd like to make a case for

00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:41.840
additional parking and bike lanes that

00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:46.280
are um not separated but are painted and

00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:48.039
I thank councelor sirakov for her

00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:49.920
question which has asked councilors to

00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:51.960
investigate the opportunity to provide

00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:53.840
additional parking in neighboring

00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:55.320
streets and other areas so if there is

00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.559
any parking that's going to be lost when

00:48:57.639 --> 00:48:59.360
we Implement either of these two options

00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:01.400
at the end of the process uh we may be

00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:03.079
able to find some additional parking

00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:05.239
just as we've heard today that uh Aldi

00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:06.880
may be able to help us with taking some

00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:08.320
of their customers off the street into

00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:10.880
the Aldi car park so again thank you to

00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:13.400
all who've been involved um my

00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:15.079
particular view will be when this comes

00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:16.199
to a debate further along I'll be

00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:17.599
arguing very very strongly that I think

00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:19.360
separated bike lines are by far the

00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.199
safest place for bike riders like myself

00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.800
but as I said I also am aware that there

00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:26.639
are number of views in our community

00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:28.559
with people who'd like to argue a case

00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:30.119
to keep parking reduction to a minimum

00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:32.119
and they're entitled to argue that case

00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:34.239
and I'm sure we'll hear both sides of

00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:36.679
that debate um during the consultation

00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:38.400
process I look forward to the results of

00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:41.320
the consultation process and uh I think

00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:43.639
I foreshadowed what unless I'm convinced

00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:45.119
otherwise in the consultation process

00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:46.719
the line that I would probably be taking

00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:48.360
at the end of the process but I'll have

00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:49.559
to consider all the submissions that

00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:51.440
come before the council so I think great

00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:53.480
opportunities to find out exactly what

00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:55.800
members of our community think about

00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:57.360
what we should be doing with separated

00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.159
bike Lanes sorry with the implementation

00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.320
of bike Lanes in Incan Street whether

00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:06.039
they be separated or painted and when

00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:07.079
people are considering their

00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:09.360
consultation they may wish wish to add

00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:11.280
in as part of their wish list that the

00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:12.760
state government get around to doing

00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:15.880
something in the um separate section of

00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.559
St Kilda Road between carile Street and

00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:21.840
sinila Junction my vision would be that

00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:23.559
people a to come out of their bike lane

00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:26.400
on incomin Street onto separated bike

00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:28.480
Lanes along silda Road and head all the

00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:30.760
way onto the city very safely even now

00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:32.599
navigating silda Junction in a much

00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:34.480
safer way as we've seen in the last few

00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:36.000
weeks and able to do in the past that's

00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:38.320
the long-term Vision we as Council don't

00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:39.679
have any formal say as to what happens

00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:41.719
in St kilder Road perhaps during the

00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:43.800
consultation process if people can help

00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:45.159
make that case that will give us some

00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:48.000
ammunition as a council to Lobby the

00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:49.559
state government and as I said my vision

00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:51.639
would be I hope to have bike Lanes all

00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:54.039
the way through down incam street ontis

00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:55.440
ker Road and people can H all the way

00:50:55.519 --> 00:50:57.599
into the city whether they go through to

00:50:57.679 --> 00:50:59.920
princess Bridge or down Park Street up

00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:01.880
morray Street down towards Southern

00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:04.400
Cross station so hope you all support

00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:05.920
this motion look forward to the

00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:08.320
consultation and no doubt there'll be a

00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:09.880
much more significant debate when we get

00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:12.159
the results of the consultation

00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:15.079
in thank you councelor

00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:19.199
bter thank you um yeah so uh I'm happy

00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:21.480
to uh put these options out to

00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:23.480
consultation and I really want to thank

00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:25.039
um those members of the community that

00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:28.039
came today to talk about the importance

00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.760
of of safety um this is really what it

00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:33.360
comes back to this is not about uh

00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:35.960
Aesthetics this is not about um some

00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.239
sort of you know wouldn't it be nice

00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:41.119
this is actually about taking one of the

00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:43.880
most unsafe stretches uh in our

00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:45.880
municipality and looking at how we can

00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:48.400
make it more safe for all Road users uh

00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:50.760
and it's really important to consider

00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:54.159
that all Road users uh element um

00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:57.400
because for so long uh We've really only

00:51:57.480 --> 00:51:59.760
designed roads with one particular Road

00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:04.280
user uh in mind but we we at Council

00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:08.760
have had for a a very long time a a um

00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:11.800
strategy and a policy position to um

00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:13.679
encourage mode shift and to try to get

00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:15.760
people to not take as many car trips try

00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:17.920
to get people onto alternative methods

00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:20.239
of Transport including bikes uh as well

00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:22.360
as walking and micromobility and public

00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:23.519
transport and all of those sorts of

00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:26.800
things so um this is this is a really uh

00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:30.559
important piece uh of that puzzle um its

00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:34.960
proximity to uh St Kilda Road and that

00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:38.960
um you know sort of uh Avenue um through

00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:40.360
to the city and through to the the

00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:42.960
separated bike L there uh also makes

00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:44.880
this a really really important um

00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:47.199
location here

00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:50.639
um it's it's going to be uh really good

00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:52.440
to hear from uh the community and I

00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:55.159
think that um that sort of feedback is

00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.920
is going to help us as well as uh the

00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.679
important uh evidence uh around safety

00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:03.119

genuine uh Community consultation

00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:05.079
engagement with residents we should

00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:06.760
provide residents with a range of

00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:09.199
options and that includes options which

00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:11.719
will minimize any negative impact on

00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:14.400
their local amenity in this case we

00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:16.719
address minimizing or I would like to

00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:18.639
address and councilors to consider

00:55:18.719 --> 00:55:21.000
consider addressing minimizing any loss

00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:22.840
of car parking to our

00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:25.599
residents families the elderly and those

00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:27.880
with disabilities are dependent on

00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:30.159
nearby parking and not having to walk

00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:33.159
hundreds of meters to get to and from

00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:34.760
and between from their cars to their

00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:36.960
homes because of the multiple personal

00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:39.320
needs and demands on their

00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:42.239
lives this amendment is relevant to both

00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:44.920
of the options in front of us both our

00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:47.079
option one looks at at a loss of 20 car

00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:49.639
spaces which which is significant over

00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:54.039
1.2 km and also option three sorry

00:55:54.119 --> 00:55:56.800
option option one looks at a loss of 116

00:55:56.880 --> 00:56:00.400
car spaces across 1.2 km and option

00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:03.679
three a possible massive uh also a loss

00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:07.599
of 20 car spaces this amendment asks of

00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:09.719
council to investigate streets nearby to

00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:12.480
incom and Street and to and identify

00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:13.920
where parking can be added or

00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:16.400
reconfigured to offset any loss of car

00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.199
parks on increment Street given that any

00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:21.599
of the options given that any of these

00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:23.679
options when it goes out to community

00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:25.440
consultation are

00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:28.079
supported the loss of car spaces on

00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:30.559
incom Street will also have a flow on

00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:33.239
effect on residents on nearby streets

00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:35.159
with incom Street residents and visitors

00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:37.719
searching for car Parks elsewhere off

00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:38.880
incom

00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:41.639
Street I ask counselors to support this

00:56:41.719 --> 00:56:44.119
amendment as a practical solution for

00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:46.639
our residents living on both on Incan

00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:48.880
Street and neighboring streets to

00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:51.719
address any loss of car parks and that

00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:54.159
residents have not be got have not been

00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:57.199
been forgotten en with delivery of any

00:56:57.280 --> 00:56:59.719
bike lane developments thank you thank

00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:00.880
you councelor Clark would you like to

00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:03.599
speak to the

00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:05.880
amendment uh I'll speak to the

00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:08.760
substantive part uh issue when we come

00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:11.199
back to that uh just to say in regards

00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:14.480
to this amendment um I think the purpose

00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:17.960
of this is just to reemphasize the fact

00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:21.000
that uh with the loss of potentially 20

00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:25.199
car spes or more if it's option one um

00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:27.119
you know we want to make sure that uh

00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:30.159
council do their utmost um which they

00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:32.400
usually do but Council officers do their

00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:36.360
utmost to identify alternative uh car

00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:38.719
spots for those that would be lost and

00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:41.079
also that the residents are aware that

00:57:41.159 --> 00:57:43.320
that is a priority for us in whatever

00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:46.760
option is chosen here to um to to

00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:49.400
continue to find um those car spots for

00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:51.440
your convenience and and your needs of

00:57:51.519 --> 00:57:54.760
everyday living so I think this uh just

00:57:54.840 --> 00:57:58.039
ads I guess further around the intent um

00:57:58.119 --> 00:57:59.559
of this proposal that's being put to

00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:01.639
council tonight so thank you thank you

00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:03.000
anybody else want to speak to the mment

00:58:03.079 --> 00:58:06.159
councelor inagi um I won't be supporting

00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.719
this I think it's an epic waste of time

00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:10.760
we um what the community probably don't

00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:12.320
see I think we had our first briefing I

00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:13.679
double check but it was actually in

00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:15.800
March we've had multiple briefings on

00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:17.960
this issue over the course of the year

00:58:18.039 --> 00:58:20.280
um and we've discussed this issue at

00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:22.119
length don't even know how much time

00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:23.320
it's been now it's been a lot of time

00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:25.440
we've talked a lot about this the aim

00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:26.800
tonight is to actually put this out to

00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:29.199
community consultation um I think if

00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:31.000
Council has had issues about the various

00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:33.280
models and trust me they do all nine of

00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:35.400
us have prosecuted and discussed and

00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:37.960
debated this issue all year um to ask

00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:39.880
councils at this uh Council officers at

00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:43.239
this stage to go and do more work in

00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:44.800
parallel to the consultation I think is

00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:47.880
really unhelpful um and like we're

00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:49.199
talking about redesigning a whole

00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:50.559
another Street potentially which I think

00:58:50.639 --> 00:58:52.559
is just not the priority right now I

00:58:52.639 --> 00:58:54.039
think one of the huge issues we had with

00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:55.559
this project

00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:57.639
would be my observation after now sort

00:58:57.719 --> 00:58:59.800
of being involved with it for8 months as

00:58:59.880 --> 00:59:02.360
a counselor um is that we've spent so

00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:04.280
much time fiddling and changing and

00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:06.360
editing and sort

00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:08.719
of making it very very hard for our

00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:10.239
officers to do their job because we're

00:59:10.320 --> 00:59:12.519
constantly changing things and I think

00:59:12.599 --> 00:59:15.199
to add another job for them to go and do

00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:16.800
um means that all the other transport

00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:18.320
projects that we want them to be

00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:21.280
focusing on will be delayed further so I

00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:24.039
um won't be supporting this thank you

00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:25.280
I'll speak

00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:27.320
um our community doesn't have the

00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:28.880
benefit of being in those briefings so I

00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:30.280
think it's really important that even

00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:31.599
though this may not be necessary because

00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:34.079
the council officers answered that it's

00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:36.079
feasible to do a desktop it's really

00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:37.719
important to signal to our community

00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:39.920
that this is a body of work that can be

00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:42.320
done and it helps a some fears that

00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:43.840
might come out of this project about

00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:46.599
losing car parks that may not see it fly

00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:47.880
so I think it's really an important

00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:49.679
thing even though it means maybe not a

00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:51.719
whole great deal it does I think not

00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:53.280
detract from it so I will be supporting

00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:55.880
it tonight else like to speak to the

00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:58.280
amendment councilor

00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:01.039
Martin I understand Council serov's

01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.960
intent I also pick up on Council AR's

01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.920
comments most of what council sirak off

01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:09.719
asked is asking office to do in this

01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:12.039
motion has happened over the last few

01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:13.360
months we've had a number of briefings

01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:14.639
there've been a number of meetings and I

01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:16.480
know that Council officers will continue

01:00:16.559 --> 01:00:17.840
to work with us whether this is in the

01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:21.079
motion or not and hence I believe it's

01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:23.320
probably not necessary I believe the

01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:25.360
work has been done will continue to be

01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:30.000
done um we're pro I'm going to support

01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:31.559
the motion I'm going to support the

01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:33.000
amendment but in doing that I'm saying

01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:35.960
we're probably really only adding to

01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:37.480
council office's workload because I

01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:39.599
believe ever since we've started work on

01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:41.440
this project one of the key things that

01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:42.679
we've been trying to do is to find

01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:44.840
alternative parking to minimize the loss

01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:47.519
of parking so I understand why Council

01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:49.519
sovs put it up I understand that there

01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:51.440
are people in the public who appreciate

01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:52.800
that council's trying to do something

01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:54.119
but can I assure them this work is

01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:58.119
probably already been done and you at

01:00:58.199 --> 01:01:00.159
the risk of trying to look transparent

01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:01.840
and I'm I'm supporting it almost under

01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:04.239
under Jess where're

01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:06.519
really just duplicating work that's

01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.599
already been done but I

01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:10.840
suppose it does show good faith in the

01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:13.519
council that we are we have done and

01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:15.760
will continue to make every effort to

01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:17.360
minimize parking lot no matter what

01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:19.840
option is ahead but uh can I assure

01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:21.239
people out there that this has been in

01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:22.679
the back of our minds ever since we

01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:24.920
started work on this project offic spent

01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:27.039
a lot of time already and hopefully most

01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:28.199
of the work that they've done they can

01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:29.440
use rather than have to spend a whole

01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:31.159
lot of additional time to address

01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:33.760
Council serov's points again I

01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:35.280
understand why she's put it up we're

01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:37.079
trying to be transparent but it's

01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:39.119
probably unnecessary but I'll support it

01:01:39.199 --> 01:01:40.960
just for the sake of

01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:42.679
transparency thank you anybody else

01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:44.719
speaking to the amendment otherwise

01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.400
that's take I'll take that to the vote

01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:49.960
all those supportive of the amendment

01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:52.840
all those in favor 1 two three four five

01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:54.920
six all right that pass uh all those

01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:59.199
against one two so that

01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:01.320
passes thank you so we're going back to

01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:03.159
the substantive I've had councel Martin

01:02:03.239 --> 01:02:04.960
speak to it and councelor back do speak

01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:07.639
to it so this is included um May can I

01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:08.960
ask a question of officers now that

01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:11.159
we've altered the recommendation yes

01:02:11.239 --> 01:02:13.039
clarifying question um for my

01:02:13.119 --> 01:02:13.960
understanding from the integrated

01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:16.360
transport strategy um westrey street is

01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:18.280
considered to be one of the priority

01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.719
corridors where we to increase parking

01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:23.400
along that Corridor which is what

01:02:23.480 --> 01:02:25.519
council sirakov was foreshadowed as part

01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:28.079
of the amendment would that um mean that

01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:30.719
we then couldn't do a protected bike

01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:32.760
line down there in the five or 10 years

01:02:32.840 --> 01:02:35.840
time when we decide to do

01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:39.239
that nly

01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:42.239
monu through you mayor um as you

01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:43.960
mentioned it is west Bri street is part

01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:45.519
of our bike Corridor Network in the

01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:47.519
integrated transport strategy um there

01:02:47.599 --> 01:02:49.440
is a range of options we could look at

01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:51.920
in that road space obviously any change

01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:53.679
in the parking and how much space that

01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:55.960
takes up in the the road space would

01:02:56.039 --> 01:02:57.480
potentially limit the options we have

01:02:57.559 --> 01:02:59.159
available to us but there are a range of

01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:02.599
options we could explore thank you all

01:03:02.679 --> 01:03:07.599
right so who would like to speak to the

01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:10.679
substantive councel

01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:13.559
clerk uh thank you

01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:16.920
mayor so I I not in you know this

01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:19.400
proposal and listening to the speakers

01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:22.719
tonight uh or some of them um they come

01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:25.639
from Glenn Ira South Melbourne corfield

01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:30.280
North and as far away as M ponds um and

01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:32.960
um their position you know amongst you

01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:34.679
know there's many views in the community

01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:36.800
that um this is important that we have

01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:39.639
um protected bike paths uh on this

01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:41.280
street

01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:45.239
uh that that is a view and then there's

01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:47.199
also the consideration of the impact on

01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:50.480
the residents who uh live in this street

01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:52.760
and I note that option one is the loss

01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:56.920
of 116 car car spots and if you try to

01:03:57.000 --> 01:04:01.360
add up 116 car spots along a road um

01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:03.679
that's a huge number of car spots that

01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:07.199
are potentially being lost for residents

01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:10.480
and option uh three if uh this is

01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:13.239
supported tonight uh results in the loss

01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:15.840
of 20 car spots and there's option four

01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:17.719
that's not being recommended for

01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:20.639
consultation that has the loss of no car

01:04:20.719 --> 01:04:26.360
Parks so um you can't ride your bike and

01:04:26.440 --> 01:04:28.480
bring home your groceries assuming you

01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:30.960
do a normal amount of shopping you can't

01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:33.880
take your kids to the doctors or to

01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:36.960
their dance classes or bring Parcels

01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:39.280
home or use the bike if you're elderly

01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:42.599
disabled or in infirm sorry or you just

01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:45.639
don't want to get cold or wet so there

01:04:45.719 --> 01:04:48.039
is um a large consideration or a large

01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:50.920
amount of people who um for certain

01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:53.599
tasks and for certain uh individuals

01:04:53.679 --> 01:04:55.480
riding a bike is never going to be a

01:04:55.559 --> 01:04:57.800
possibility for them and there's also

01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:00.599
the convenience of you where you live

01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:02.719
you want to be able to get out and and

01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:05.800
park your car and walk to your uh house

01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:08.320
or apartment with a level of convenience

01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:09.639
it's not guaranteed that you're going to

01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:11.079
get a car spot out the front of your

01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:13.960
house um but it is something that we all

01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:17.119
note and if it's your house um where you

01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:19.719
live and your car park that's lost I

01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:22.159
think um we can all appreciate and

01:05:22.239 --> 01:05:24.599
understand um the impact to you

01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:26.480
and I'm sure that if any of us in this

01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:28.519
room were being impacted we might also

01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:31.360
have some concerns about that so uh

01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:32.960
there are two very different options

01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:35.760
going out to the community um there are

01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:38.360
safety considerations on this street and

01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:40.079
there's things like The Pedestrian

01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:41.760
crossings that are being considered as

01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:44.719
part of improving uh that of the 33

01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:47.840
crashes 13 of them uh were bikes and

01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:50.920
pedestrians are also uh impacted as well

01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:54.000
so um we had one speaker talk about the

01:05:54.079 --> 01:05:55.880
impact of businesses and I think that's

01:05:55.960 --> 01:05:58.840
important for um businesses in Inman

01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:00.480
Street and those that may or may not be

01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:02.760
impacted to also provide their feedback

01:06:02.840 --> 01:06:05.519
so consultation is is going out I think

01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:09.360
on the 19th of October or thereabouts um

01:06:09.440 --> 01:06:11.199
and would love to hear from all the

01:06:11.280 --> 01:06:13.920
residents about their views and use take

01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:16.599
the opportunity to provide that uh to

01:06:16.679 --> 01:06:19.239
council officers to help us make um an

01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:22.920
informed decision so thank you thank you

01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:24.559
who would like to speak to it

01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:26.719
next canc

01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:29.400
Bond um I look forward to hearing the

01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:31.679
feedback we're going to receive for

01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:33.559
these two options I think one of these

01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:35.559
options will be a lot more controversial

01:06:35.639 --> 01:06:36.880
than the other and the feedback we

01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:40.679
receive on it will certainly be um loud

01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:42.800
and strong on option one whereas option

01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:44.079
three I think will be a bit more

01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:47.639
palatable to to most in our community it

01:06:47.719 --> 01:06:50.280
involves um you things like mid block

01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:52.519
block pedestrian Crossings wack

01:06:52.599 --> 01:06:55.039
Crossings um and and when you do put

01:06:55.119 --> 01:06:56.480
those in there will be a loss of some

01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:58.480
car Parks I think it was 20 estimated

01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:02.519
for the for the full length of uh Inc

01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:03.920
and street from one to the other if we

01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:07.360
do Implement some mid block pedestrian

01:07:07.440 --> 01:07:10.320
Crossings um hopefully there there is an

01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:12.719
ability out there to offset any car loss

01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:15.719
in the surrounding streets um probably a

01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:17.280
little skeptical as long as I know if

01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:19.280
there was opportunities to install more

01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:21.079
car parks in any of those streets I have

01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:23.199
no doubt residents would have already

01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:24.719
contacted us with those suggestions

01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:26.239
saying hey you could fit an extra five

01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:29.960
cars in my street if you did X Y or z um

01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:33.559
to the configuration so I you know

01:07:33.639 --> 01:07:35.079
probably a bit skeptical as to exactly

01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:37.039
how many new car parks are out there but

01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:38.840
I hopefully we come back and we find a

01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:42.039
lot more than just the 20 or so that are

01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:43.800
here if there's 100 new car Parks

01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:45.400
potentially out there we I look forward

01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:48.039
to to implementing them um just with

01:07:48.119 --> 01:07:50.239
regard to the need for this I know a lot

01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:52.519
has been made of the 33 accidents along

01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:54.880
this strip but we actually in our

01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:56.559
briefings got a list of what those

01:07:56.639 --> 01:07:58.760
accidents were accident by accident and

01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:00.920
most of them occurred at the traffic

01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:03.199
lights and were between car and car and

01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:05.760
car and tram in some instances um in

01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:10.760
terms of midblock accidents involving

01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:13.400
cyclists which is the the reason you

01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:16.439
would install a separated bike lane

01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:18.520
between the two lots of traffic lights

01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:21.520
there were very few midblock accidents

01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:25.439
involving cyclists along this strip um

01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:28.159
so the justification here for a for a

01:08:28.239 --> 01:08:29.840
separated bike lane the full length of

01:08:29.920 --> 01:08:32.239
in incon Street there whilst it may

01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:33.800
appear to be the case when you talk

01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:36.199
about the headline of 33 accidents an

01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:38.239
analysis accident by accident shows that

01:08:38.319 --> 01:08:40.439
a a separated bik Lane here would have

01:08:40.520 --> 01:08:42.399
very little impact on cyclist safety in

01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:44.039
this strip I think there may have been

01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:46.039
one or two maybe but it certainly won't

01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:49.159
be the 33 that that that are indicated

01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:50.720
is tooking place here the majority of

01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:53.359
them W will still continue um because

01:08:53.439 --> 01:08:55.279
they were were in no way involved

01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:56.560
anything that's going to be impacted by

01:08:56.640 --> 01:08:58.720
a bike lane here um so I look forward to

01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.760
hearing this feedback um and the next

01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:02.880
time I'm sure we'll have a lot more

01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:05.279
people in the crowd especially from from

01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:07.239
Inman street I'm sure once they find out

01:09:07.319 --> 01:09:08.319
what's potentially happening out the

01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:11.079
front they will remobilize and

01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:13.039
reactivate and certainly come down and

01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:15.159
and give us their very strong feedback

01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:16.319
on this

01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:18.640
proposal thank you anybody else speaking

01:09:18.720 --> 01:09:21.000
to this tonight coun

01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:24.119
NRI thank you mayor um yeah I'm very

01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:25.439
excited to have this finally go out to

01:09:25.520 --> 01:09:29.000
consultation it was one of the first um

01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:30.560
sort of cycling projects I got briefed

01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:32.279
on when I first got elected to council

01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:33.760
way back in the beginning of the year

01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:36.119
and it's kind of had a number of um

01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:38.079
briefings as I mentioned earlier and

01:09:38.159 --> 01:09:39.439
they've been somewhat frustrating

01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:40.479
because

01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:44.800
um I guess there a a general um push I

01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:46.560
think from this Council to slowly back

01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:48.159
away from our integrated transport

01:09:48.239 --> 01:09:49.800
strategy to slowly back away from our

01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:52.520
commitment to protected cycling Lanes I

01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:54.720
think I just want to remind people um

01:09:54.800 --> 01:09:56.079
before we go out to consultation and

01:09:56.159 --> 01:09:58.600
encourage the community to to provide

01:09:58.680 --> 01:10:00.439
feedback but the reason that this

01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:03.039
particular Street was chosen um is

01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:05.560
because it connects between uh squil

01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:08.239
Road and the jering uh Trail which goes

01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:09.720
all the way down to dandong this was

01:10:09.800 --> 01:10:11.479
sort of decided to be the link there's

01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:14.159
been many different routes sort of kind

01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:16.079
of going across this part of Melbourne

01:10:16.159 --> 01:10:18.119
we've looked at carile Street we've

01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:20.199
looked at elaro we've looked at princess

01:10:20.279 --> 01:10:21.439
Highway we looked at a whole bunch of

01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:22.960
places but ultimately after many many

01:10:23.039 --> 01:10:26.319
years incon was always decided to be the

01:10:26.399 --> 01:10:28.880
best option um you know which means we

01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:30.880
don't we look at you know doing these

01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:33.279
kind of protected Lanes elsewhere um I'm

01:10:33.359 --> 01:10:34.880
kind of depressed in a way that we're

01:10:34.960 --> 01:10:36.399
putting out both options tonight because

01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:37.680
it is sort of another little way that we

01:10:37.760 --> 01:10:39.800
are sort of slowly stepping away from

01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:41.560
our commitment to protected lanes and I

01:10:41.640 --> 01:10:43.199
know that the the safety outcome in

01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:46.520
three is far far far weaker than in

01:10:46.600 --> 01:10:48.880
option one um but that's kind of where

01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:50.399
we are I do really encourage the

01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:51.960
community to come and speak to us I

01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:54.479
think there's a general um

01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:56.319
lack of understanding among councils

01:10:56.399 --> 01:11:00.000
about the general cost um of not having

01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:01.520
these kind of bits of infrastructure we

01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:02.800
talk a lot about the loss of parking we

01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:04.640
don't talk very much about the the

01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:06.119
general loss of not having as many

01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:07.840
people out cycling we don't want

01:11:07.920 --> 01:11:09.039
everyone to cycle and it's not

01:11:09.119 --> 01:11:10.600
appropriate for everyone but we do know

01:11:10.680 --> 01:11:13.079
that when more people do um when we have

01:11:13.159 --> 01:11:16.319
these Lanes um that you know ultimately

01:11:16.399 --> 01:11:17.760
that will reduce the number of parking

01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:20.239
spots we need it will make our places

01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:22.760
quieter and safer and um generally

01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:24.520
better um and these lanes are also not

01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:26.399
just for bikes we do keep calling them

01:11:26.479 --> 01:11:28.439
that but we should also remember that e

01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:30.439
scooter users use them we have a lot of

01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:32.359
the sort of um Uber Eats drivers than

01:11:32.439 --> 01:11:34.439
like we use them if you're in a Mobility

01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:35.680
Scooter you can use them there's a lot

01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:38.079
of other users um in our community who

01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:39.119
can benefit from this kind of

01:11:39.199 --> 01:11:40.479
infrastructure who will benefit from

01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:43.399
having um some form of separation from

01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:46.359
the main part of the road um so I look

01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:47.560
forward to hearing what people say in

01:11:47.640 --> 01:11:49.600
the community consultation but I do urge

01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:51.560
our community to make it known what they

01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:54.439
feel because um yeah our Council are not

01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:57.159
exactly excited about protected B Lanes

01:11:57.239 --> 01:11:59.279
they do need a bit of a

01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:01.479
prod thank you would anybody else like

01:12:01.560 --> 01:12:04.359
to speak to the item counc sov did you

01:12:04.439 --> 01:12:06.560
want

01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:11.520
to thank you mayor um I'm supportive

01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:14.359
both these options going out because um

01:12:14.439 --> 01:12:17.439
they do offer a varying degrees of how

01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:19.920
much uh car spaces will be removed from

01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:21.680
the streets and um it will give the

01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:23.720
opportunity of all of our residents not

01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:25.600
those who those who didn't who didn't

01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:27.640
turn up tonight and probably are not are

01:12:27.720 --> 01:12:30.279
not aware of what's going on Council

01:12:30.359 --> 01:12:32.560
from fortnite to fortnite to come to

01:12:32.640 --> 01:12:35.159
these to these meetings and to voice to

01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:37.960
voice their positions um so I really I'm

01:12:38.039 --> 01:12:39.720
really welcoming that when this goes out

01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:42.159
to The Community something like 8,000

01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:44.039
postcards will be delivered to uh the

01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:46.520
doorsteps of everybody in the area

01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:49.000
that's being um affected and so this

01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:51.560
will um this will I think this is great

01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:53.439
because it'll let them know what's going

01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:54.840
on in their community and giv them the

01:12:54.920 --> 01:12:56.880
opportunity to come back and give uh

01:12:56.960 --> 01:12:58.720
feedback so we need to hear that

01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:00.600
feedback we need to hear how it's going

01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:02.239
to affect them how it's going to affect

01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:04.239
their daily lives how are they going to

01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:06.960
get get get around how how how will they

01:13:07.039 --> 01:13:08.760
uh be able to go to and from their homes

01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:11.199
to visit their families have families

01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:14.760
visit them at the same time um if car

01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:18.560
car spaces are removed and maybe 116 uh

01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:20.199
car spaces remove is going to be too

01:13:20.279 --> 01:13:22.039
much for them but maybe they'll settle

01:13:22.119 --> 01:13:25.159
for uh 20 k spaces being removed and

01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:27.039
that that'll be a good outcome because

01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:29.159
we will still have a resheet road we

01:13:29.239 --> 01:13:31.520
will have three um flashing light

01:13:31.600 --> 01:13:34.960
pedestrian Crossings being um being

01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:38.720
delivered um we will have improved uh uh

01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:42.119
uh uh traffic light system where the uh

01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:44.800
pedestrians and bikes take off first so

01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:46.880
there's going to be all these other um

01:13:46.960 --> 01:13:49.000
implemented safety

01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:52.039
aspects um to even if we don't go with

01:13:52.119 --> 01:13:54.880
116 car space spes being removed and we

01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:57.600
still have 30 um only 20 car spaces

01:13:57.680 --> 01:13:59.760
removed it will also still have a

01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:02.600
protected uh section for bike Lanes with

01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:04.439
a raised

01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:07.720
yellow it's like a cheese strip down

01:14:07.800 --> 01:14:12.039
down the side to uh to um uh warn cars

01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:15.039
that uh there's a bike lane to your left

01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:20.199
so um I'm really welcoming to uh hear um

01:14:20.279 --> 01:14:21.960
what all residents will say and I'm

01:14:22.039 --> 01:14:23.720
hoping that also with the

01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:26.680
amendment that because they might feel

01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:28.720
more confident by having having the

01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:30.439
words in the amendment the council will

01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:33.279
be going out seeking or investigating

01:14:33.359 --> 01:14:35.439
for more car spaces this will bring

01:14:35.520 --> 01:14:37.960
residents on board for changes and

01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:41.279
improvements and safety of bike riders

01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:44.319
um along Inman street thank

01:14:44.399 --> 01:14:47.119
you thank you anybody else speaking to

01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:48.840
it if

01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:53.560
not I will uh so today being r to work

01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:54.960
day I hope there were a lot of new

01:14:55.039 --> 01:14:56.079
people who might have gotten on that

01:14:56.159 --> 01:14:57.880
bike today those little initiatives help

01:14:57.960 --> 01:14:59.840
get more people on their bikes it is

01:14:59.920 --> 01:15:04.279
important and I do value it um the this

01:15:04.359 --> 01:15:06.039
is more than a bike project and I think

01:15:06.119 --> 01:15:07.359
it's really important that we are have

01:15:07.439 --> 01:15:08.920
talked about that tonight that it's not

01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:11.319
just about the bike lane issue topic

01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:13.039
that it's more the safety improvements

01:15:13.119 --> 01:15:14.760
across the project it's such an

01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:16.439
opportunity to see an uplift in this

01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:19.119
area and I'm pleased that we are getting

01:15:19.199 --> 01:15:21.279
forward in this project it was

01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:22.720
definitely an election issue I remember

01:15:22.800 --> 01:15:24.479
it and don't live in this area I live up

01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:25.840
in Port Melbourne but I remember hearing

01:15:25.920 --> 01:15:28.159
so much about this bike lane so I know

01:15:28.239 --> 01:15:30.199
it has a bit of a history and this is

01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:32.640
the Nick's um part to hear what the

01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:34.880
community has to say it's important that

01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:36.479
the people some people have come tonight

01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:38.600
to express what they would like to see

01:15:38.680 --> 01:15:40.439
supported because it's important that we

01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:42.239
put those options out and to hear that

01:15:42.319 --> 01:15:44.479
four was not supported was really

01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:46.439
informative to me as well even though it

01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:47.720
wasn't you never know what we do on the

01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:50.560
night with the Amendments right um but

01:15:50.640 --> 01:15:51.640
this is the opportunity for people to

01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:53.439
know you know your patch better and and

01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:55.880
I acknowledge that this is all about

01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:58.000
public benefit it's not only about

01:15:58.079 --> 01:15:59.920
residents it's not only about visitors

01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:01.239
and not only about businesses it's not

01:16:01.319 --> 01:16:02.880
only about people passing through but

01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:04.560
they're all important aspects to a

01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:07.479
project like this so please have an open

01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:09.960
mind when you're reviewing this and um

01:16:10.039 --> 01:16:12.119
think and it maybe block by block an

01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:14.199
improvement or a general about the

01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:16.520
project and the

01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:19.039
concept

01:16:19.119 --> 01:16:22.439
the uh I think it's important when we do

01:16:22.520 --> 01:16:24.319
speak about bicycle networks and we have

01:16:24.399 --> 01:16:26.279
our integrated transport plan that these

01:16:26.359 --> 01:16:28.640
bike lines do need to go somewhere so we

01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:29.920
get a lot of people saying but not in my

01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:31.520
street we have to look at the merits of

01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:33.520
how it when we zoom out where these do

01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:35.720
need to go and that there are

01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:37.920
acknowledging many users and growing

01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:40.079
number of users not just a traditional

01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:42.920
cyclist but the list of who doesn't use

01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:44.960
a bike I thought no they do they do take

01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:47.159
their kids to doctors and to school and

01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:48.600
bikes there's so many bikes out there

01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:50.000
you can get multiple children on one

01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:52.680
bike now it's pretty impressive and um

01:16:52.760 --> 01:16:54.600
more people with lower

01:16:54.680 --> 01:16:56.439
abilities

01:16:56.520 --> 01:16:59.039
um and it's it is a dangerous stretch

01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:00.960
we're acknowledging that from car park

01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:02.960
car issues and bike issues there's a

01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:05.159
general Improvement where bike Lanes

01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:07.000
will hopefully continue through

01:17:07.079 --> 01:17:09.039
intersections where those we're seeing

01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:10.800
the more

01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:13.479
conflicts and but I'm very pleased it's

01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:15.399
not a hard decision tonight we have two

01:17:15.479 --> 01:17:18.319
options um I see merits in both but of

01:17:18.399 --> 01:17:20.680
course both have negative impacts to the

01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:22.560
users but also just in general what

01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:24.399
they're deliver on uh I think it's

01:17:24.479 --> 01:17:25.840
important to give my feedback that I

01:17:25.920 --> 01:17:28.359
think there's quite a few uh there's

01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:31.479
quite a number of crossovers in Inman

01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:35.359
street so I feel it's an interesting

01:17:35.439 --> 01:17:37.319
location to see a protected B Lan based

01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:39.560
on that to give that feedback but I also

01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:41.560
want to make sure that the residence and

01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:43.760
how that street operates is acknowledged

01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:46.079
in our decision making so I will be

01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:47.479
supporting this tonight and I very much

01:17:47.560 --> 01:17:48.479
look forward to hearing what the

01:17:48.560 --> 01:17:49.880
community has to

01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:52.359
say all right would you like to close

01:17:52.439 --> 01:17:53.960
councilor

01:17:54.039 --> 01:17:56.960
Martin thank you mayor um when we're

01:17:57.039 --> 01:17:58.600
going out to consultation I'd like

01:17:58.680 --> 01:18:00.640
everyone to consider Community

01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:05.199
safety safety of our pedestrians safety

01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:07.520
of our local residents safety of our

01:18:07.600 --> 01:18:08.680
cycle

01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:11.159
Riders interesting to note there haven't

01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:13.920
been a large number of bicycle accidents

01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:17.039
in Inman Street having been riding up

01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:19.239
and down incom street since I was school

01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:21.119
at CBC in the early 60s I've got a

01:18:21.199 --> 01:18:23.279
pretty good idea that there are many

01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:24.800
people who'd end up with brown trousers

01:18:24.880 --> 01:18:26.000
rather than ride their bike along and

01:18:26.079 --> 01:18:28.920
gonr it's bloody dangerous so one of the

01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:30.319
many reasons why there probably haven't

01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:31.920
been so many bicycle accents there is it

01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:34.760
simply not safe we've got two options

01:18:34.840 --> 01:18:36.960
and when we're going out to consultation

01:18:37.039 --> 01:18:39.279
let's consider are these options going

01:18:39.359 --> 01:18:42.039
to make life safer for all Road

01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:44.399
users and as well as making life safer

01:18:44.479 --> 01:18:47.199
for all your road users will they

01:18:47.279 --> 01:18:49.359
increase the likelihood of people

01:18:49.439 --> 01:18:51.479
getting on two wheels whether it's on a

01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:53.720
bike whether it's on a scooter to use

01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:55.239
the bike lines whether it's option one

01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:58.039
or option three and if we can find a way

01:18:58.119 --> 01:18:59.920
of maximizing the number of people who

01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:02.159
are getting onto two wheels reduce the

01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:03.800
number of people who are using cars

01:19:03.880 --> 01:19:05.680
reduce the number of emissions keeping

01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:07.960
our people mentally and physically fit

01:19:08.039 --> 01:19:09.079
then we should probably look at an

01:19:09.159 --> 01:19:11.600
option that's going to do that and I'll

01:19:11.680 --> 01:19:13.479
leave that to people in the consultation

01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:17.680
process but again the debate just from

01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:20.319
listening to the debate this evening um

01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:22.520
for many people the main issue seems to

01:19:22.600 --> 01:19:24.840
be car parking and yes car parking is

01:19:24.920 --> 01:19:27.720
not unimportant we must consider that

01:19:27.800 --> 01:19:29.359
and I thank Council surov for her

01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:30.840
Amendment which highlights that we as a

01:19:30.920 --> 01:19:32.800
council are concerned about that but

01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:34.880
let's look at safety of everyone and

01:19:34.960 --> 01:19:36.680
let's look at how we can maximize the

01:19:36.760 --> 01:19:38.199
number of people who are using incam and

01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:40.159
Street increase the number of people on

01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:42.960
two wheels increase their safety and

01:19:43.039 --> 01:19:44.840
hopefully get the state government to

01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:46.960
extend whatever we do in incen Street

01:19:47.039 --> 01:19:49.479
into a separated bike lane all the way

01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:51.760
up to Gilder Road and right down past

01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:53.279
the domain that would be a f fantastic

01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:56.399
outcome so good people of port philli

01:19:56.479 --> 01:19:58.840
and unlike councelor Clark I'd suggest

01:19:58.920 --> 01:20:00.720
anyone who's a regular user of incom and

01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:03.720
Street um I wouldn't suggest that my

01:20:03.800 --> 01:20:05.640
cousin in Queensland should participate

01:20:05.720 --> 01:20:07.640
I don't think she's ever walked in incam

01:20:07.720 --> 01:20:08.960
street but I do think anyone who's a

01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:11.039
regular user of that street whether they

01:20:11.119 --> 01:20:13.239
park at Ali or ride their bike from

01:20:13.319 --> 01:20:16.119
corfield down to silda I think anyone

01:20:16.199 --> 01:20:18.479
who is a regular us of income Street

01:20:18.560 --> 01:20:20.319
should let Council know what their views

01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:22.399
are so we can as a council consider all

01:20:22.479 --> 01:20:24.159
those use and come to an informed

01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:25.640
decision that hopefully comes up with an

01:20:25.720 --> 01:20:26.520
excellent

01:20:26.600 --> 01:20:29.000
outcome thank you we will now take that

01:20:29.079 --> 01:20:31.800
to the vote all those in

01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:34.399

the lease holders have done there just

01:22:44.600 --> 01:22:46.000

one that's of most note and of most

01:27:57.800 --> 01:28:00.560
importance to our community was our um

01:28:00.640 --> 01:28:02.479
response across local government to the

01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:05.239
recent housing statement by the state

01:28:05.319 --> 01:28:08.119
government um there'll be a further

01:28:08.199 --> 01:28:09.399
strategy and a lot of additional

01:28:09.479 --> 01:28:10.880
conversations to be had in the coming

01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:13.720
months but the MAV and councils across

01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:16.239
Victoria have taken the the approach of

01:28:16.319 --> 01:28:17.720
um trying to constructively work with

01:28:17.800 --> 01:28:20.079
the state government to find ways to

01:28:20.159 --> 01:28:22.439
better improve our planning system we

01:28:22.520 --> 01:28:23.319
acknowledge that there are a lot of

01:28:23.399 --> 01:28:24.760
opportunities and although we are quite

01:28:24.840 --> 01:28:26.399
concerned about some of the changes and

01:28:26.479 --> 01:28:28.199
how they might impact our communities

01:28:28.279 --> 01:28:31.079
negatively we are very encouraged um and

01:28:31.159 --> 01:28:32.680
excited to get involved in the process

01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:34.720
of trying to increase our housing Supply

01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:36.920
and improve our planning system was a

01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:40.439
particular Focus um and note that um the

01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:42.640
review of the planning act um is long

we are firmly of the view that there are

01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:51.399
certainly significant opportunities in

01:28:51.479 --> 01:28:53.319
reviewing that act for for everyone
