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.
Classification Level 2
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
Classification Level 4
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)
Classification Definition
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
Movement & Place Defining Network Classifications

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)
Classification Definition
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)
Classification Definition
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
Movement & Place Defining Network Classifications

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
Classification Definition
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)
Classification Definition
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)
Classification Definition
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)
Classification Definition
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)
Classification Definition
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 (I)
Live in VMap soon. Tram/bus interchange classifications under development.
The classification of an interchange is determined by the highest classification of the four components of interchange classification
shown below.

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
