New and expanded assets Advanced traffic management (ATM) Expand the use of traffic management tools – (such as lane use management, access ramp signalling and CCTV) to manage freeway flows and achieve higher levels of efficiency and reliability. Bicycle highways through the central city (BHT) Build dedicated bike lanes to – facilitate better travel into and across the CBD. Burnley rail upgrades (BRG) Upgrade the Burnley group of lines to support the – development of a metro rail system. This would include the rationalisation of Burnley junction, duplication of the line between Mooroolbark and Lilydale to facilitate additional services and improve reliability of the Ringwood corridor, and the quadruplication of the line between Burnley and Camberwell stations. Central city tram network extension (CCT) Extend tram within the central city – area including to the new redevelopment areas of E-Gate and Fishermans Bend and the missing tram link between Dynon and Footscray. City loop reconfiguration (CLR) Reconfigure the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop – (MURL) to increase capacity, particularly on the Upfield, Craigieburn and rail lines. Clyde rail extension (CRE) Extend the metropolitan rail network to Clyde from the – current terminus at Cranbourne in Melbourne’s south east. Doncaster tram service (DTS) Extend the 48 tram from Balwyn Road/Doncaster – Road intersection through to Doncaster shopping centre. Provide a new pair to quadruplicate Geelong and Werribee rail upgrade (GWR) – the tracks from Deer Park to West Werribee via Tarneit and Wyndham Vale stations. Geelong fast rail (GFR) Implement a fast rail service (less than 30 minutes) between – Geelong and Melbourne (Southern Cross Station). Geelong rail electrification (GRE) Electrification of the Geelong line and operation of – high-capacity electrified rolling stock from Grovedale via the recently constructed Regional Rail Link to improve capacity and reliability. Growth area train station upgrade and provision (GAT) Provide new stations in – growth areas such as Truganina, Black Forest, Sayers, Davis and Dohertys Roads and upgrades to existing over capacity stations. High speed rail from Sydney to Melbourne (HSR) Construct a high speed rail line – between Melbourne and Sydney to provide an alternative to air travel. Melbourne Metro 2 (MMS) Construct a heavy rail connection between Clifton Hill and – the CBD through to Fisherman’s Bend and Newport via two new rail tunnels.
