Dear Mr ***

Thank you for highlighting your concerns on the frequency of bus services in Point Cook in your email of 19 February.

Please note that Council does not fund or operate public transport services. The funding, provision and operation of public transport services is a State Government responsibility. The Department of Transport has planned for additional bus routes in Point Cook but in the current 2011/12 State budget no money was allocated for additional bus services in Wyndham.

For your information, altered and new bus routes across Wyndham were introduced by the State Government in April 2010. They were redesigned to serve new developments with many routes seeing improvements to the frequency and hours of operation using the minimum service standards of:
·         6am to 9pm Monday and Friday
·         8am to 9pm Saturdays and public holidays
·         9am to 9pm Sundays, Good Friday, and Christmas Day

Any decision to alter these minimum service standards will need to be made by the State Government. I would also note that 40 minute frequencies are currently the standard for most bus routes in Wyndham.

The Department of Transport has a limited budget each year for the installation of bus shelters across Melbourne. The priority for installation of bus shelter’s is based on, for example:
·         Number of people waiting
·         Other shelters nearby?
·         Proximity of retirement villages, schools, crèches, etc

I cannot provide you with an answer as to when additional bus services or improved bus frequencies will be provided in Point Cook. However, Wyndham City Council continues to lobby for improved bus services and frequencies in presentations and discussions with State Government Ministers and Members of Parliament.

In the meantime, if you wish to contact the Department of Transport with your concerns, the feedback form is available at http://www.transport.vic.gov.au/ ... 0A77B1?OpenDocument

If you have any further questions you can contact me on 9742 0790 or at dean.ellis@wyndham.vic.gov.au

Once again, thank you for your comments.

FUNDING NEEDED TO CLEAR POINT COOK GRIDLOCK
Published: March15, 2012
Member for Altona District, Ms Jill Hennessy MP, today called on the Baillieu Government, to allocate funds in the forthcoming State Budget in order to support the duplication of Point Cook Road and roads infrastructure in general in Point Cook.
Ms Hennessy said, “not one dollar was allocated in last year’s budget to improve roads infrastructure in Point Cook.
“Local residents are rightly frustrated with being gridlocked in local streets at peak times.
“Mums and Dads commuting to work or ferrying children to school should not have to put up with the current situation which is growing worse by the day.
“The Baillieu Government cannot afford to ignore roads in the West in the May State Budget. Funds need to be urgently allocated,” Ms Hennessy said.
“The roads infrastructure issues around Point Cook are not just about congestion but also about the impact on the safety of our community which is incredibly important,” Ms Hennessy said.
“The people of Point Cook demand and deserve to be heard now, not in the future. Our community is suffering now. Action needs to be carried out now, not in years to come we just don’t have that luxury,” Ms Hennessy said.
“The Point Cook Community has run out of patience,” Ms Hennessy said.
“The Baillieu Government need to act now and allocate funds to fix the gridlock urgently.
“Wyndham has lost too many lives on our poorly resourced roads system. The government not only needs to finally release their road safety strategy, but they need to put their money where their mouth is and fund these things as a matter of urgency in this year’s forthcoming budget,” Ms Hennessy said.
