Buslines Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/buslines Buslines tells the stories of the people and businesses that line major bus routes in Melbourne. In our public transport system, buses tend to be found in the outer suburbs – areas that are unfairly forgotten and stigmatised in metropolitan media coverage. This podcast seeks to change this. Through short episodes comprised of interviews with the faces of local businesses, we aim to immerse you in the diverse and vibrant communities that line these bus routes. In each episode, we want you to feel as though you’re taking the bus down that road.

The City of Melton’s outer suburb of Harkness is the proposed home for a new 128-hectare cemetery that will “reimagine the public cemetery”. The new development, as proposed by The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, will “integrate the site into community life.” The trust says “population growth, urbanisation and climate change mean future public open spaces must meet many needs,”  and thus the cemetery must accommodate space for the community through picnic grounds, bike paths, and playgrounds.
