The State Government’s Plan shoulder a high proportion of the escalating transport load. Melbourne notes that Melbourne’s greenfield lots are the second-cheapest among Australia’s capital cities. It is vital that Melbourne’s growth areas are set up for success. Our governments must ensure that the right infrastructure is Melbourne’s outer south-east has long been a corridor of major in place to accommodate this unprecedented and continuing growth. By 2031 it is expected that Casey will have established growth in population and travel demand. itself as our most populous region with well over 400,000 residents, as many as Canberra. And after many years of steady growth in the south-east, growth is apace in Melbourne’s Outer-suburban pain west and north.
