Another
amendment
ready to exhibit
By Kate Taylor
A piece of tidy-up work, the Planning Scheme Amendment

C86 is another step closer to adoption.
Councilors voted at the March council meeting to seek
authorisation from the Planning Minister to prepare and
exhibit the amendment – and affected landowners will be
notified thanks to an additional condition proposed by West
Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan.
The amendment is set to correct a number of errors and
anomalies that have been identified in the planning scheme.
“Council officers occasionally receive queries from public
authorities and private parties regarding errors and
anomalies in the Moorabool Planning Scheme,” read a report
tabled at the meeting.
“Most of these are for fairly minor matters. In such cases,

Weigh up the balance

During the consultation, teams will hand
out information that summarise the
following benefits and disadvantages of
electrification of the rail line:
Pros:
- More frequent service is possible.
- Triples the carrying capacity of VLine
trains (444 seats to 1500 people per
train).
- Bacchus Marsh can become a transport
interchange with electric and diesel
services.
- Will lead to duplication of full track and
quadruplication to Melton eventually.
- Stabling of trains at Kerrs Road,
Maddingley will enable Bacchus Marsh
to be at the start of the line for morning
services and resolve stabling issues in
Melton.
- Residents will have carriage choice and
more flexible destinations
- Adequate land for stabling at Kerrs Road,
Maddingley.
VG2180
Cons:
- There is a risk of VLine trains bypassing
Bacchus Marsh in peak and/or off peak
timetables.
- Slower journey when VLine gets stuck
behind frequently stopping electric
service.
- Likelihood that a number of peak services
will not stop at Bacchus Marsh.
- Electric train journeys could take up to
20 minutes longer than current services.
- Amenity of suburban trains is poorer.
