VIC ES Salaries under the proposed VGSA

I did some calculations of my own to get a grasp of the offer. The first image shows the salary levels for a selection of ES classifications. By the end of the agreement, for most ES classifications (1, 2, 4 and 5), salaries will be 24% higher than now, which is an annualised increase of 5.5% (in reality it's a bit less, since we've been without a pay since mid last year). ES level 3 staff will receive higher increases.

ES will be given allowances each year (see second image), but these do not boost our underlying pay. And since it's not ordinary time earnings, we also miss out on the 12% superannuation guarantee payments that would accrue if these were pay increases.

I cycle to work on Heidelberg Road, and I am thankful for the separated bike lane. It’s pretty good most of the way. And then you hit the Heidelberg Road/Queens Pde overpass bridge.

The bike lane on the bridge has rémanents of a concrete spill. There are massive overgrown weeds in the bike lane, and gravel/dirt which could result in a rider losing traction.

Who is responsible for street sweeping DoT main roads? Do I contact Yarra council or DOT?

And to get the bike lane resurfaced, I assume I should be contacting DoT?

I am in the mood to write some complaint emails, so thank you for any insights.
