Our research on the liveability of regional cities in Victoria has identified an important element: liveability in these areas requires fast, reliable and frequent rail connections to capital cities.
Shepparton residents are clearly disadvantaged by having far fewer daily train services to Melbourne than other regional centres. |
Previous research has established that we need better models of early transport delivery in growth areas of Melbourne. Public transport, in particular, is an essential ingredient for a liveable community.
Less attention has been paid to transport in regional areas, particularly regional areas with growing populations.
