Growing pains By Ethan Benedicto, Violet Li Melbourne’s south east is seeing 460,000 people who are unable to access a sports field within a 10-minute walk, and 88,000 people are in the same boat in growth areas, according to Infrastructure Victoria’s (IV) 30-year Infrastructure
Strategy. The draft, which is seeking the input of local communities, highlighted the importance that green and open spaces play for cities, especially those still growing, such as the City of Casey. Echoed by the council’s Open Space Strategy, emphasis was placed on the interconnectedness
of these open spaces and making them more accessible for residents. Likewise, the draft also touched on an extension of the Cranbourne train line to Clyde and a recommendation to the State Government to build four new stations after 2030. The need for better public transport in the
south east is prevalent, and with this development and a projected cost of $2 billion to $3 billion for the extension, residents could access 50,000 more jobs in 45 minutes. Coverage page 20
