Project_ Metro Tunnel Construction is underway on Metro Tunnel, Victoria’s biggest ever public transport project. It will increase the number of trains we can run across Melbourne, and means less crowding and less waiting. Metro Tunnel will benefit all Victorians by making it easier to move around the city and enhancing access to jobs, education, health and culture. Melbourne’s prosperity and all-important liveability will be strengthened by the shift towards more frequent, punctual and reliable train services enabled by a metro-style ‘turn up and go’ rail network that relieves network congestion and overcrowding in peak periods. Metro Tunnel is a key part of this network change. Key Metro Tunnel features 65 new High Capacity Metro Trains – running between Sunbury and Cranbourne / Pakenham through the Metro Tunnel. These trains are 20% bigger with more room for passengers. Two 9km rail tunnels under Melbourne, connecting some of our busiest rail lines. Passenger safety will be enhanced with international-style platform screen doors installed in the five new underground stations. High capacity signalling on the Sunbury to Cranbourne / Pakenham line using technology to run trains every few minutes. Future-proofed to cater for our growing city with platforms for longer trains in the future. Commuter benefits Allow more trains to run in and out of the city on the Sunbury, Cranbourne and Pakenham lines as well as the Werribee, Craigieburn, Upfield, Sandringham and Frankston lines. Greater capacity for 39,000 more passengers during each peak period from the first day of operation. Easing overcrowding in the inner core of the rail network. Relieving tram crowding and congestion on St Kilda Road and Swanston Street. Reshaping travel demand to enable a future restructure of the tram network within the expanding CBD. Creating network capacity to enable the future construction, extension and electrification of rail lines across Melbourne. Social benefits Providing three new stations (Arden, Parkville and Domain) in areas not currently serviced by heavy rail with a combined catchment of over 200,000 jobs, student enrolments and residents. Improving social and economic inclusion as more people will be able to access employment, education, sporting, entertainment and cultural opportunities in Central Melbourne via public transport. Stimulating significant urban renewal in inner city areas such as Arden-Macaulay. By enabling more workers to locate in a highly productive and employment-dense area, the benefits will flow to businesses, employees, and the economy at large. Metro Tunnel will be the catalyst for enhanced connectivity and will underpin Melbourne’s rail network growth for decades to come. Improved frequency and reliability of rail services will encourage travellers to leave their cars at home, reducing traffic congestion in the north, west and south-east. Reducing the number of road crashes, lowering the level of greenhouse gas emissions and improving health, due to increased physical activity, as people switch from car travel to public transport. Sustainable population and jobs growth Better transport connections to education, health, employment and cultural opportunities support sustainable population and jobs growth. Enabling communities in key population corridors in the west and north to be better connected with knowledge-based jobs. Creating education and employment opportunities in the city’s inner west for Melbourne’s key population growth corridors to the north, west and south-east of Melbourne. Economic benefits Economy-wide modelling demonstrates that the Metro Tunnel is expected to create approximately 4,700 jobs nationwide at the peak of construction. The construction and operation of the Metro Tunnel is expected to increase Victoria’s Gross State Product by at least $7 billion. Improvements in the transport network as a result of the Metro Tunnel will boost: existing national employment clusters: Melbourne CBD, Monash and Dandenong South) emerging employment clusters: East Werribee and Sunshine existing activity centres: Sunshine, Footscray, Broadmeadows, Frankston, Dandenong, Narre Warren and Fountain Gate. Station precinct benefits Each of the new Metro Tunnel stations will: Enhance transport access to strategic locations in Melbourne Reduce crowding at City Loop stations and relieve congestion on the rail network Provide interchange opportunities with other modes of transport Lead to the creation of new urban landmarks and precincts Be a catalyst for new residential and commercial developments.

Task 1 – Monitoring and Evaluation Instructions to Learners: This summative assessment can be completed in class or at any other convenient location. Students are required to complete this task using digital tools and ensure to submit in an acceptable format, e.g. .docx, .pdf, .pptx, or as advised by your assessor. Please use the following formatting guidelines to complete this assessment task: Font Size: 12; Line Spacing: Double; Font Style: Times New Roman Assessment activities can be completed either in real workplace environment or in a simulated environment such as your classroom. In both cases, appropriate evidence of the assessment activities must be provided. Instruction to Assessors: You must assess student’s assessment according to the provided Marking Criteria. You must complete and record any evidence related to assessment activities including role-plays and presentations using appropriate forms which must be attached with student assessment submission. You must provide students with detailed feedback within 10 working days from submission. For a project nominated by your Assessor, you are required to implement a monitoring, evaluation and reporting program. In order to do so, complete the attached Evaluation Worksheet then complete the following questions: Purpose – What is the purpose of the evaluation? – Who is it serving? – Does the design of the evaluation support the initiative taking place on the ground? – Does the research generate new knowledge? – Is the evaluation being used as a tool to help empower the individuals and communities it serves? Realistic – Are adequate resources available for the evaluation? – Are the evaluators fully trained and competent in the techniques they are being asked to carry out? (This may be particularly important with internal evaluations – i.e. when project staff are being asked to carry out much of the evaluation themselves.) – Do stakeholders agree that the resources earmarked for the evaluation are proportional to the overall size of the project? i.e. +/- 10% of the total budget for the project. – Do all stakeholders share similar views of what the evaluation aims to achieve? – What has been done to ensure that funders and practitioners have a realistic view of the communities they are working with and their capacity to absorb and engage with different kinds of evaluation activities? – What has been done to ensure that the proposed project outcomes, and the timescale within which changes might be expected, are compatible? – Is the project goal/vision compatible with the anticipated outcomes? – Has the evaluation considered the historical, political and social (local and national) context in which the program is taking place? – Does the evaluation address the theoretical assumptions on which the project is based? – What are the political forces at play? How much political power is being wielded? Ethics – Has an appropriate ethical framework been developed? This may include considerations of protecting the confidentiality and anonymity of responses. – Who considered the ethical dimensions of the project and how ethical policies would be implemented? Methods – Is the evaluation participatory? – Are the objectives and monitoring indicators SMART (Specific, Measurable, Appropriate, Realistic, Time-Bound)? – Has the planning of the evaluation been treated as equally important as the data collection? – Is the evaluation integrated into all stages of development and implementation? – Is the chosen methodology the most appropriate in light of the project interventions? Be clear why! – How is the quality of practice/application of methods ensured (different questions need to be asked if the research is commissioned or carried out internally)? – Is the timeframe of the evaluation sufficient to measure the potential outcomes (some of which may be very long-term)? – Are the methods used flexible enough to monitor unintended outcomes? Dissemination – How can evaluators be encouraged to report more fully on their evaluation activities? – Will the findings be conveyed to all participants and stakeholders in meaningful, timely and appropriate ways? – Will the results show the failings as well as the achievements of the project? Attach copies of all produced documents including the evaluation plan, surveys, survey outcomes and reports.
