North Melbourne
North Melbourne did not obtain a rank due to either being too far from the CBD, in the CBD itself, an “Edge Station”, or already being designated an activity centre. Regardless, this page still contains information for each of the metrics.

Service Frequency
Service frequency is calculated as the mean number of services per hour in two periods of travel:
-
Between 7 and 10am towards Flinders Street, shown in blue.
-
Between 4 and 7pm away from Flinders Street, shown in green.
The chart is also split by direction of travel, which in Melbourne’s radial network is either towards or away from Flinders street.
The mean values of these two periods are shown as dashed lines, and the mean of those two numbers is the final score.
North Melbourne has a morning frequency of 28.32 and an evening frequency of 26.45. The raw value is therefore 27.38
Train Line Patronage
Note
Train Line Patronage is also referred to as ‘Spare Line Capacity’ in some other sections of this report dealing with transformed (final) scores.
This is because higher patronage values imply a line is more congested, and accordingly the station receives a lower line capacity score. This is explained in the methodology.
The chart below shows the average patronage on the Sunbury, Werribee, Upfield, Williamstown, Flemington Racecourse, Craigieburn line(s) at the last stop before the CBD (North Melbourne). It is calculated for the same travel times as Service Frequency above.
North Melbourne has an average morning service patronage of 326.51 and an average evening patronage of 326.35. The raw value is 326.43.
Existing Transport Infrastructure
The map below shows tram routes and tram stops in green, as well as bus routes and bus stops in orange.
There are 18 tram stops in a 1km radius, with route(s) 57, 70, 86, 35, 75, 30 servicing the area.
For buses, there are 24 stops, with route(s) 216, 220, 402, 401 in the area.
The data below shows the frequencies per route, split by mode.
The final transport connections score is computed by summing the average frequencies of each route and applying a weight to each mode. Tram routes are given twice the weight of bus routes.
The final raw value of North Melbourne transport connections is 109.11.

Notes on Data Visualisation
OpenStreetMap point locations were joined to polygon dwelling data for this visualisation. Some points could not be joined and are displayed as circles on the map.
Some amenities are within the same building, e.g. multiple shops in shopping centres. In these cases, the building is assigned a colour corresponding to the most common amenity within it.
The plot below visualises the number of local services within the station catchment. Data is drawn from OpenStreetMaps classifications. The black dotted lines represent the average for each category across all stations included in the model.
Calculation of the final score for local services uses an index measure. It is described in more detail in the methodology.
