Movement & Place Defining Network Classifications

v20180619.03 Page 1 of 20

Movement & Place Classifications Module 1 of the Movement & Place Framework assigns future

strategic visions for movement and place to the transport

network. Strategic vision is based on State-level transport and

land use planning strategies.

The road network is divided into transport links and each link is

assigned a movement and place Network Classification, to

define the strategic vision for that link.

There are five levels of Network Classification and these make

up a system for describing strategic functionality and

significance. The five levels of Network Classification are

defined in the table below:

Classification Level

Classification definition

Classification Level 1

Mass movement of people and/or goods on routes with a State or National level movement function or primary access to a State level place.

Associated with Place of State or National significance and associated.


Significant movement of people and/or goods on routes connecting across multiple municipalities or primary access to Regional level places.

Associated with Place of Regional significance

Classification Level3

Moderate movement of people and/or goods on routes connecting municipalities or primary access to Municipal level places.

Associated with Place of Municipal significance


Movement of people and/or goods within a municipality

Associated with Place of Neighbourhood importance

Classification Level5

Local movement

Associated with Place of Local importance

Aligning the classifications for place and movement using this structure:

• provides consistent terminology to describe strategic intent

• introduces a mindset to understand the functionality of transport links with respect to place and movement

• can assist in discussions relating to the strategic vision for modes on the network

Defining Place Classifications (P) Place classifications are defined by State-level Planning

strategies (e.g. Plan Melbourne, State Planning Policy

Framework, Planning Zones and Activity Density & Intensity).

Place classification represents the future vision for a place and

is the first classification applied to a transport link.

Table 1 – Place (P) Definitions

Classification Definition

P1 Place of State or National significance

P2 Place of Regional significance

P3 Place of Municipal significance

P4 Place of Neighbourhood importance

P5 Place of Local importance

Defining Place Categories Place categories are defined to identify three key different types

of places:

1. Places of Street Activity – this implies human activity that

you might normally associate with ‘Place’

2. Places of Off-Street Activity – applies to Places which

generate significant demands on the transport network

and are large economic generators, however they may

not generate on-street ‘Place’ activity. This includes

special places, such as ports and air ports, that may not

have traditional place elements, however they contribute

significantly to the Victorian economy and need to be

appropriately supported by the transport network.

3. Places of Landscape & Culture –applies to Places that

may not receive the foot traffic of ‘Places of Street Activity

but are still significant in their own right. These places

may include places of landscape or culture value that are

not applicable to the Environmental Classifications

Places of Street Activity (PA)

Table 2 – Places of Street Activity (PA) Definitions (see Table 22 and Table 23 for rules)


PA1 State or Nationally significant, very high levels of activity, people come from across the State to experience & use the place

PA2 Regionally significant, high levels of activity, people come from adjoining municipalities to experience & use the place

PA3 Municipality significant, moderate levels of activity, people travel from across the


v20180619.03 Page 2 of 20

municipality to experience & use the place

PA4 Neighbourhood importance, lower levels of activity, people travel from the adjacent community to experience & use the place

PA5 Residential importance, levels of activity are generally quiet, the place is only a destination for people accessing residential properties

Places of Off-Street Activity (PO)

Table 3 – Places of Off-Street Activity (PO) Definitions (see Table 24 for rules)


PO1 State significant places (may not have on-street activity) generating very high demands on the transport network for high value and/or volume of people or freight movement.

PO2 Regional significant places (may not have on-street activity) generating high demands on the transport network for high value and/or volume of people or freight movement.

PO3 Specialised places (may not have on-street activity) generating unique demands on the transport network for people or freight movement.

PO4 Other places (may not have on-street activity) generating unique demands on the transport network for people and/or freight movement.

Defining Movement Classifications (M) Movement classifications represent the mix of transport links

that are required to support the overall demand for movement

across a network. Movement classifications are derived from

the underlying mode classifications and are primarily intended

to communicate the broad movement function in relation to the

place function.

Table 4 – Movement (M) Definitions (See Table 43 - Rules for Movement (M) Classifications for Movement Rules)


M1 Mass movement of people and/or goods on routes with a State or National level movement function or primary access to a State level place.

M2 Significant movement of people and/or goods on routes connecting across multiple municipalities or primary access to Regional level places.

M3 Moderate movement of people and/or goods on routes connecting municipalities or primary access to Municipal level places.

M4 Movement of people and/or goods within a municipality

M5 Local movement


v20180619.03 Page 3 of 20

Defining Movement Mode Categories Classifications must consider both the specific area they are

applied to and their connection to the wider transport network.

Rail (R)

Table 5 – Rail (R) Definitions


R1 Mass movement of people providing high frequency access to a high-level places.

Tram (T)

Table 6 – Tram (T) Definitions (see Table 26 for rules)


T1 Mass movement of people providing high frequency access to a high-level places.

T2 Significant movement of people at moderate frequency

T3 Movement of people at lower frequency that provides primarily provides access to lower order places.

Bus (B)

Table 7 – Bus (B) Definitions (see Table 27 for rules)


B1 Mass movement of people providing high frequency access to a high-level places.

B2 Significant movement of people at moderate frequency

B3 Movement of people at lower frequency that provides primarily provides access to lower order places.

B4 Movement of people at low / irregular frequency that provides access to lower order places.

Freight (F)

Table 8 – Freight (F) Definitions (see Table 28 for rules)


F1 Mass movement of goods at high speed.

F2 Routes that facilitate significant movement of goods where higher speeds are not achievable due to a constrained operating environment

F3 Freight access routes where provision for freight vehicles is important however freight is not a priority movement

FS Special freight routes required for the movement of goods by unique freight vehicles

Where the following principles apply, it is likely that the road’s F

function matches its classification:

• F1 classifications support long distance, high value freight

movements. They are intended to move large quantities of

goods at higher speeds. Freight is a priority movement on

these routes.

• FS routes do not support significant numbers of vehicle

movements but are critical for the vehicles that do use

them as there may be no alternative route.

General Traffic (GT)

Table 9 – General Traffic (GT) Definitions (see Table 29 for rules)


GT1 Mass movement of people by private vehicle on routes with a State or National level movement function or providing primary access to a State level place (P1)

GT2 Significant movement of people by private vehicle on routes connecting multiple municipalities or providing primary access to Regional level places (P2)

GT3 Moderate movement of people by private vehicle on routes connecting municipalities or providing primary access to Municipal level places (P3)

GT4 Movement of people by private vehicle within a municipality or providing primary access to Neighbourhood level places (P4)

GT5 Local people movement by private vehicle

Interchanges (I)

Currently testing mapping

Interchanges include train stations, tram stops, park and rides,

and other key interchanges between transport modes. The

significance of the interchange is derived from the level of

connectivity it provides.

Interchanges include train stations, tram stops, park and rides,

and other key interchanges between transport modes. The

significance of the interchange is derived from the diversity of

services it has (SD), the catchment (CA), usage (US) and

whether it has a special function status (SF). See Appendix for

full details and rules.

Interchange Catchment Component Matrix (CA)

• Population figures used are 2031 predicted population

• Catchment sizes are defined as a 10 minutes walking, or 10 minutes cycling. A 10 minute cycle catchement is very similar

to a reasonable bus catchment.

• No catchment size results in an I1 classification, as catchment is an indication of potential usage, not actual usage

Cycling (C)

Cycling classifications are currently under review.

Table 32 – Rules for Cycling (C) Classifications

Cycling Definition Status Mapping

C1 Routes attracting highest number of cyclists that are the most important in providing access to destinations and for cycling as transportation.

Need to confirm text SCC as on PBN

C2 Routes for cyclists that provide access to destinations and support cycling as transportation.

Need to confirm text Remaining PBN

C3 Local Trip Cycling Route – routes attracting cyclists for short trips to local destinations.

Needs to confirm – connects with ’20 minute neighbourhood’.

Not mapped.

Proposed updated cycling classification mapping rules shown below.

Table 33 – Proposed Rules for Cycling (C) Classifications

Cycling Definition Status Proposed Mapping

C1 Providing primary ‘arterial routes’ of cycling for transport of state significance. To reach destinations of high job clusters and places of activity (P1-3), interchange (I1-4). Medium-low distribution of routes within built-up areas and required to cater for high volumes of cyclists.

To be confirmed internally

Strategic Cycling Corridors

C2 Providing secondary ‘arterial routes’ for transport cycling of state significance. To reach destinations of

high place activity (P1-3), interchange (I1-4), and ‘web’ connections between C1 routes. Medium-high distribution of routes within built-up areas, and required to cater for moderately high volumes of cyclists.


Bicycle Priority Routes

C3 Providing municipal routes for transport cycling to reach medium place activity (P3-4) and local connections to primary and secondary cycling routes (C1-C2). High distribution within built-up areas and expected to cater for low-medium volumes of cyclists.


Remaining Principal Bicycle Network

C4 Providing last-mile connections to other land uses from primary, secondary and municipal cycling routes.
