Infrastructure Victoria: Melbourne citizen jury
No full textIn 2016, Infrastructure Victoria is convening two citizen juries to get community input into the development of its 30-year infrastructure strategy. The Melbourne jury is considering infrastructure needs and options across Victoria
Regional citizen jury report
Get PDFTwo citizen juries - one metropolitan and one regional - of approximately 43 people each brought together a representative, random sample of Victorians to consider the question: What should we do to meet Victoria’s infrastructure needs?
The two citizen juries were drawn from across the greater Melbourne area and the area surrounding Shepparton. This helped ensure both metropolitan and regional perspectives were considered.
Jury members also spent many hours reading public submissions and information materials between sessions. Jury members were able to request additional information and presentations from subject matter experts to help their deliberations.
The reports of both juries will be considered by Infrastructure Victoria as a key input into the strategy.
The unedited recommendations of both juries have been published on the Infrastructure Victoria website and a response to the recommendations will be given in person by Infrastructure Victoria’s Chair

Value capture - options, challenges and opportunities for Victoria
Get PDFThis paper outlines the options, challenges and opportunities for implementing value capture in Victoria, including opportunities that arise from both infrastructure investment and planning changes. If you are interested in understanding more about using value capture to help fund infrastructure in Victoria, this paper will explain it for you. This paper aims to build community awareness and understanding of the concept of value capture and advise the Victorian Government on a way forward by:
Providing a definition of value capture and associated mechanisms relevant to Victoria.
Explaining the benefits and limitations of value capture.
Identifying if, why and when Victoria should seek more opportunities for value capture.
Identifying key challenges and pathways for implementation and overcoming key challenges.
Modelling key value capture mechanisms applied to case studies or scenarios related to options considered in Victoria’s draft 30-year infrastructure strategy developed by Infrastructure Victoria (Draft strategy).
Consistent with Infrastructure Victoria’s approach, our analysis considers a range of sectors, including transport, health, education, social housing and planning

Second container port advice - evidence base discussion paper
No full textThis discussion paper provides an overview of the evidence Infrastructure Victoria will consider in developing its advice to the Special Minister of State on when and where the Government should invest in new container port capacity for the State.
This is not our advice to the Minister, it is the information, data and analysis we have collected to date. We must provide our advice to the Minister by May 2017. Our future advice to the Minister will help ensure that the Victorian Government is well placed to make an informed decision about when to invest in new capacity, and whether that capacity should be at the Port of Melbourne, or at a new port at either Bay West or Hastings.
From the evidence collected thus far it is clear that all options have pros and cons for the Government to consider. The release of this discussion paper and body of evidence is the next important step in our consultation process to help develop our advice.
In September 2016, we released our discussion paper Preparing advice on Victoria’s future port capacity, which sought to begin building understanding and consensus among the community and stakeholders on the key factors we should consider as we prepare our advice. We heard from many different groups and this feedback has helped shape our work and inform this paper.
Our consultation summary paper, released together with this paper, provides more detail on what we heard and how it has been used. You can view this document on our website. Our advice on when we might need a new port and where it should be located must be based on the best available evidence. We have used existing studies, undertaken new technical investigations and consulted with key stakeholders and local communities over the past six months to develop this evidence.
As our work has progressed, it has become clear there are a number of factors that will be critical to our advice on when to invest in new capacity and where. These are:
Ship size: what size ships, and how many, are likely to want to visit Australia, what is the biggest ship that can access the Port Phillip Heads, and how much we value being able to accept an unrestricted ship size.
Cost of complementary infrastructure: the capital and operating cost of the complementary transport infrastructure to support each port.
Environmental and social impacts: the impact expanding the Port of Melbourne or developing a new port would have on significant environmental and social values, and what that means for the difficulty of securing environmental approvals. T
This paper explains the evidence we have gathered on these factors, as well as other issues that need to be considered when planning new port capacity, such as trade and container demand forecasts. We have had our work and technical reports peer reviewed. This evidence is available in our document library at infrastructurevictoria.com.au. Consistent with our approach, we are releasing this evidence to help promote understanding and build consensus on our evidence base. We are now inviting stakeholders and the community to consider this evidence and bring forward any further evidence they may have, before we deliver our advice to the Minister in May this year
Preparing advice on Victoria's future ports capacity
No full textThe Special Minister of State has asked Infrastructure Victoria to provide advice on the future capacity of Victoria’s commercial ports. This paper sets out the scope of our advice, and how we plan to prepare it. In particular, in line with the Minister’s request, we will focus our study on the timing of, need for, and location of a second container port in Victoria.
Commercial ports are large and long-lived pieces of infrastructure, often being used for over 100 years. They play a key role in anchoring supply chains as a gateway for the movement of goods in and out of Victoria. Commercial ports have significant economic, environmental and social impacts. Where they are located and how they operate are influential factors in determining whether these impacts are positive or negative, and how they are geographically distributed.
Planning and constructing a new port requires a long lead time. A decision on its timing must be based on the best available evidence, and strike a balance between pre-empting inadequate future ports capacity and the prospect of unused capacity in the short and medium term.
Many people are interested in how Victoria plans its future commercial port capacity, and we are interested in hearing people’s views. Your input will help us to build consensus on the key factors we need to consider in preparing our advice.
What this paper is about
This paper sets out Infrastructure Victoria’s scope and approach in preparing our advice on Victoria’s future commercial port capacity. It describes:
• our proposed process for preparing our advice
• key factors and drivers of change likely to affect further development at the Port of Melbourne, Bay West, and Hastings
• the additional work we are likely to undertake to inform our advice.
We want to provide this information early so that stakeholders and anyone interested can see how we intend to prepare our advice. We also want your input on our process, and whether we have identified all the key factors necessary for deciding when a second port will be needed, where it should be located, and what should drive these decisions. Your input will help us build consensus on the key factors and drivers of change that we need to examine as we prepare our advice.
What this paper is not about
This paper is not about providing a preliminary view on when a second container port may be needed or where it would ideally be located. These are important questions and we will release our evidence base for discussion in early 2017. We will use this evidence to form our advice to the Minister in May 2017. This paper is not about the current process of leasing the Port of Melbourne. We will consider the outcome of the lease transaction as we prepare our advice
