    VIC Lysterfield Park

    There was a well promoted and accessible public consultation process. Feedback was clear for, and about the benefits of a one way trail system. LDTR website is also clear about the reasons for that, which includes amongst others the opportunity to further develop the technical aspect of said...

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    I guess its all about context. Refueling my vehicle on holiday, probably happy to take a coffee break (but then conditional on good coffee). Work vehicle (ag research all over Victoria) I just wanna get there. If you remove choice, it will be a problem.

    Works in Formula E. Some differences admittedly but plug 'n' play none the less. Fast charge is slower than fossil fuel refill and likely to remain so.

    VIC Yarra Trails - Candlebark Park (Hans)

    We have approval to realign the open section under power lines heading to lower switchbacks and the dam run from top switchbacks to leaky dam. Both could include some small rollers/doubles, both need focus on flow. There is also in-principle support for a longer flow trail using full area under...

    Plastic bags, climate change, renewable energy,

    1. Diesels cant meet new Euro emissions targets. 2. A good question. I've seen publications that support both sides of argument. Whole of lifecycle analysis is difficult. 3. The elephant in the room for sure.

    Plastic bags, climate change, renewable energy,

    Even further of topic but, I was also on emergency response at the time. The Vic Govt bought quite a few Patrol trayback utes in the late 2000's for firefighting though. It was after Nissan went to the "lightweight" chassis and all in fire service ended up with cracked chassis. Was around 130 of...

    Our rotten healthcare system.

    Just take out hospital, extras cover is a rip off. As for public versus private, I've been with the later for my 40+ years working life. It has served me ok overall as the ops I've had weren't considered urgent for public system but impacted my ability to work and play. eg. Injured my knee...
