received during the consultation period.
• Eighteen (18) submissions were received from participants
at the External Stakeholder Workshop 2
• Eighteen (18) submissions were received through “Have
Your Say” survey.
• Two (2) submissions were received by email from residents
• One (1) submission received from Port of Melbourne
Corporation
• One (1) submission verbally received from Trans-Tasman
Line
GENERAL COMMENTS
• Option1 is preferred due to its simplicity but it may not be able
to achieve the desired improvement. It’s well worth a try. •
Would like more information regarding the detail of the traffic
management proposals
• Option 1 is totally inadequate to address the issue of accessing
properties in Beach St when queuing gridlocks the Princes St
roundabout.
GENERAL COMMENTS
• They are all very similar except the destruction of landscaping in
option 3. none are imaginative. 2 seems slightly better than 1 in
widened roundabout access
• Seems to be the best option for all stakeholders.
• Congestion occurs pre-roundabout. To be honest, adding
a road bike lane in Option1 and 2 makes it more congested
surely. Option 3 at least gives people in cars a bit more queuing
space. But it takes a lot away.
• This is a highly congested area even in the winter months. I
believe there is a huge short sighted vision in not looking to
replacement of berthing for the Spirit of Tasmania to the new
Redevelopment of the Port.
GENERAL COMMENTS
• It’s the only one which has a chance of solving the queuing
problem - the others will make no effective difference.
• Option 3 appears to cater for more queuing vehicles and
provides better amenity in the area immediately north of Station
Pier
• Best solution for local amenity, pedestrian and cyclists while
providing improvements for traffic associated with ships.
Opportunity for community market and community activity area
a real plus.
• The best option to actually deal with the queuing for the Spirit.
• It’s the most practical to deal with a difficult situation.

Final Concept Design Approach
PORT MELBOURNE WATERFRONT URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK
STAGE 2: Minor Upgrade -
Beach Street/Watefront Place
WINTER 2016
STAGE 1: Traffic Management
SUMMER 2015/2016
STAGE 3: Major Upgrade -
Waterfront Place/Station Pier Carpark
Post 2017
• Expansion of traffic management by PoMC during cruise
ship docking and Spirit of Tasmania sailing to include the
Beach Street roundabout - NEW
• Better utilisation of the Station Pier carpark for queuing
during peak sailing periods
• Further investigation of additional traffic management
options for TT-Line and PoMC to put in place - NEW
• Capture baseline traffic queuing and movement data -
NEW
• Capture traffic queuing and movement change data
to determine both effectiveness of management
improvements and full scope of Stage 2 works - NEW
• on-road bike lane along Beach St between Beach St roundabout and Bay St
on both sides of road
• temporary queuing lane for use during peak periods from Bay Street to
Waterfront Place - inclusion of widened lane through the roundabout will be
dependant on the traffic analysis data received from Stage 1
• pedestrian crossing improvements around Beach Street roundabout
• no pedestrian lights - NEW
Additional elements have been included in response to community feedback
that were not part of the previous concept design options.
They are -
• native coastal landscape in two locations - next to the Rotunda and adjacent
to the roundabout - NEW
• a new pedestrian beach access terrace to improve the closest access to the
beach from the Port Melbourne Waterfront area. The terraced deck will also
function as a gathering spot - NEW
• capture traffic queuing and movement change data to determine both
effectiveness of improvements and full scope of Stage 3 works - NEW
• Investigate upgrading fence to the TT-Line truck park - NEW
Consistent with the majority of the feedback from the community,
Council is proposing to pursue the detailed design of the Waterfront
Place/Station Pier Carpark as the final stage of this approach. It will
include the following parts of the project -
• approval of detailed design brief for the whole area, including the
Waterfront Place plaza fronting onto the tram stop
• develop detailed design with community and relevant stakeholders
• approval of final design for construction
• continue to seek financial contribution to the final construction
from related state departments and associated businesses
