 Freeways in Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melbourne in Victoria is served by a freeway network which is the earliest and the most extensive in Australia.
Freeway construction was resumed in the 1990s; for example the Western Ring Road, CityLink and others.
Melburnians in general are divided over the freeways; supporters crying "progress and growth" and detractors lamenting for example, the destruction of habitats and the loss of peace and tranquility along the freeway path and at the ends where the freeway traffic is spilled onto local roads.

 Melbourne (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-3.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Melbourne is a large commercial and industrial centre, with many of Australia's largest companies, and many multinational corporations (approximately one-third of the 100 largest multinationals operating in Australia as of 2002) headquartered there.
Melbourne was founded on 10 May 1835 by a group of free settlers led by John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner, unlike some of Australia's capital cities which were founded as penal colonies (Adelaide and Perth are other notable exceptions).
Melbourne was the only City in the Southern Hemisphere in which the Three Tenors (Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras) performed on their World tour in 1997, and the only City in the World to host the Kiss Symphony, a combined performance of the rock band KISS and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2003.

 Melbourne to Lorne, Victoria, Australia
When you dash out of the airport in Melbourne your first sensation will be one of having robbed a bank.
Melbourne is a wonderful, world-class metropolis, and we consequently recommend that you bypass it completely.
On the freeways this isn’t a problem since the shoulders are more than ample, but further up the road it has rocky consequences: hanging your wheel too far over to the left will put you down on the basalt stones several hundred feet at the bottom of the cliffs.

Its is even worse in many other Australian cities, infact Melbourne is the only city in Australia out of dozens that elected to keep its tramways and we also still have a good heavy rail system.
In the 90's there was a change in the approach to freeway building: new freeways would be privately built, operated and owned roads, the the private operator being able to set whatever tolls they want for a certain lease of time (typically 36 years).
Also some freeways segments have been sold to private operators who have imrpoved them by adding lanes and are now tolled.

I hesitate to be entirely methodologically explicit when writing about a subject as contentious as the postmodern city, appealing once again to what seem to be the only relatively stable elements in postmodern discourse: that of the problematisation, and that, specifically, of the problematisation of the representation.
In postmodern Melbourne particularly these compensatory facades exist as much in the architecture of renovation as they do in the commercial mass media and in literature, art, music and film.

 H-Net Review: David Dunstan on The Australian Metropolis: A Planning History
Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth offer interesting variations on regional experience, if only because under their colonial and state based administrations they have been governed differently, and to a large extent still are.
But we need to disentangle planning from the broad social and political developments of which it is so clearly a part, and in the early period, at least, planning is not recognised for what it is. In "Founding cities in nineteenth-century Australia," Helen Proudfoot proves herself a skilful archaeologist of the idea.
We witness also the failure of brave initiatives such as the Melbourne Metropolitan Townplanning Commission of the 1920s, destroyed in the snakepit of local politics.
