Seymour within an hour of Melbourne? Its 116km out.
Half the problem is business wants to centralise itself around CBD locations, the city is where the work is there is no opportunities out regional unless you work at Maccas or make methamphetamines for bikies.
If there was government incentives for business to relocate regional, areas with good public transport access - Bendigo for example has a fast rail line and a very good service between Bendigo-Melbourne we probably wouldn't need everyone going in and out of Melbourne every day.
