Of interest to Public works Practitioners working in the area of transport is the Victoiran Transport Atlas devleoped by the Department of Transport.

The Victorian Transport Atlas intends to bring together a number of transport themes and data sets such as:

• journey to work
• public transport infrastructure
• car ownership
• household activity and travel surveys
• population and employment data.

The first theme released is a summary of the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ journey to work data for 1996, 2001 and 2006. This theme includes:

• origins and destinations of work journeys
• methods of travel to work
• employment and occupation types.

The atlas has data presented for each Victorian local government area.

It will be updated in early 2013 as more data becomes available .
