Source: Victoria. Minister for Public Transport. Media Release
“The Brumby Labor Government unveiled a new legislative framework that will underpin delivery of the $38 billion Victorian Transport Plan and future development of an integrated and sustainable transport system. Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky said the proposed Transport Integration Bill would bring together all elements of the transport system – roads, rail, ports and marine – under one statute for the first time. The legislative framework is outlined in a policy position paper released by Ms Kosky and Roads and Ports Minister Tim Pallas. Ms Kosky said the Brumby Labor Government was taking action to build a world-class integrated transport network for Victoria. This is all part of our plan, a bold and innovative legislative framework for an integrated and sustainable transport network – and a modern Victorian transport system requires modern transport legislation,” Ms Kosky said.”
