Multi-billion dollar Infrastructure bonanza to reshape Melbourne

A bonanza of major infrastructure projects is about to reshape Melbourne forever as the city’s rapidly growing population prepares to overtake Sydney’s within six years.

With the city on track for an additional one million people, or 620,000 new households in the next 30 years, the scene is set for a staggering array of major developments and game-changing transport projects.

Leading the way is Victoria’s largest ever road project – the $15.8 billion North-East Link, along with the Metro Tunnel and the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal.

CDL Australia has already acquired three significant development sites in Melbourne, with the countdown on to the start of construction at The Marker – a unique project which will redefine urban living on the inner westside.

A new chapter in the city’s evolution

Melbourne is entering a new era of urban development as Australia’s fastest growing capital city.

For the first time in its history, urban infill development is outstripping greenfield development on the edges of the city.

The Marker, CDL’s first Melbourne project in a joint venture with Lechte Corporation and Crema Group, is at the forefront of this new chapter in inner-city living.

At the very heart of a revitalised western CBD fringe which will transform Spencer Street into a leafy residential borough, the eight-level landmark is set to become one of the statement pieces of the historic neighbourhood.

Perfectly in sync with a city ‘’growing up’’ rather than out, it combines the best of all worlds –  connected to the urban heartbeat and the convenience of shops, cafes and transport but at the same time providing a peaceful retreat from the busyness of life.

CDL also has another two DA-approved projects in the city – at North Melbourne and Fitzroy – in partnership with highly experienced local development companies.

Top Melbourne infrastructure projects

Metro Tunnel (above): The new $11 billion Metro Tunnel is a twin nine-kilometre rail tunnel running through the Melbourne CBD from South Kensington to South Yarra. It includes five new underground stations and will enable more than half a million extra passengers to use the rail network in peak periods every week, saving commuters up to 50 minutes each day. The project is expected to be completed by 2025.

 

Queen Victoria Market (above): This $250 million overhaul of a 140-year-old Melbourne landmark has been designed to create a world-class “market of markets’’ as part of the expanding CBD. The space surrounding the market will be transformed with new public areas, apartments, childcare facilities, a gallery, community centre and hotel.

 

North-East Link (above): The largest road transport project in Victoria’s history, the North-East Link will provide the missing link in Melbourne’s freeway network and carry up to 135,000 vehicles per day. Slashing travel times between Melbourne’s north and south-east by up to 35 minutes, it is expected to take up to 15,000 trucks off local roads each day. Construction is expected to start in 2021 with the link open to traffic in 2027.

 

West Gate Tunnel (above): Planned as a second freeway link between the west and the city, this project will end Melbourne’s reliance on the West Gate Bridge. Expected to open in 2022, the $6.7 billion project will incorporate more than 14 kilometres of new and upgraded walking and cycling paths, including a 2.5-kilometre elevated veloway above Footscray Road and almost nine hectares of new parks and wetlands.
