The Mill Park - Doreen area got a major bus network revamp on this day. Routes were generally simplified. Most of the new routes were scheduled to run every 20 min peak, 40 min off-peak with some two route corridors scheduled to provide double combined frequency. There was also a major upgrade for Route 570 running east-west across the area.
A write-up on this network is here: https://bcsv.org.au/vm/2016-07-24-new-plenty-valley-network/
The bus network was conceived to prepare for the under construction Mernda rail extension, with relatively changes needed afterwards once the new stations were open. These opened (with complementary bus network changes) in August 2018.
