Football Club. The airport estimated that the precinct would add $246 million annually to Victoria’s economy and create 2140 jobs in the Hume and Brimbank municipalities. Plans show a green pedestrian pathway, landscaping and links to bike trails and bus routes with new road infrastructure as part of the proposal. The first stage has been put on exhibition and construction is expected to start next year, pending planning approval. That stage will include road infrastructure to connect Mercer and Airport drives to the precinct, earthworks and utilities infrastructure, and large retail and outdoor sections of the precinct. The first retailers are expected to open by the end of 2026. The entire project is planned to take nine years.
The precinct is part of the Melbourne Airport Master Plan 2022. A preliminary draft major development plan awaits ministerial approval. That plan is open for public comment until December 20 of this year.
