Final Stage 1 Feasibility Report Existing and future conditions VITM generally reflects ‘business as usual’ but does not allow for additional development potential generated by the Rowville rail line if it were to proceed. It includes some, but not all, of the development potential in the vicinity of the Monash University Clayton campus. 3.6 Existing transport provision Generally, the area is well-provided with roads and associated footpath infrastructure. Public transport is bus-based, with some improvements (e.g. SmartBus) in recent years. 3.6.1 Roads and traffic Figure 8 illustrates the declared (major) road network in the Rowville rail line area. Figure 8 – Vicroads declared roads Source: VicRoads In common with most of eastern Melbourne, arterial roads form a grid throughout the area, with some key road links (Princes Highway, Monash Freeway) running at an angle to the grid. Major roads in the immediate vicinity of the rail line include: Monash Freeway and EastLink Tollway East-west arterial roads – Princes Highway (Dandenong Road), North Road/Wellington Road, Ferntree Gully Road, Kelletts Road and Centre Road/Police Road North-south arterial roads – Dandenong Valley Highway (Stud Road), Jacksons Road, Jells Road, Springvale Road, Blackburn Road, Clayton Road and Huntingdale Road Figure 9 shows the SmartRoads Network operating plans for the area. This outlines how the road space would ideally be managed at different times of day to provide priority between competing interests. The Wellington Road/North Road corridor is designated as a ‘Bus Priority Route’ and ‘Other Traffic Route’. Page 19

Final Stage 1 Feasibility Report Existing and future conditions Clearly the Rowville area is not served well by rail; the Dandenong, Glen Waverley and Belgrave lines all skirt the area. Significant numbers of study area residents use these rail lines, especially for commuting. Many of them drive to and park at stations to do so. Bus services in the area have been improved significantly in recent years, notably through the introduction of SmartBus routes, including: 900 on Wellington Road and Stud Road (Rowville - Caulfield) 901 on Stud Road (Frankston - Melbourne Airport) 902 on Springvale Road (Chelsea - Airport West) 703 on Blackburn Road (Middle Brighton - Blackburn) Page 20
