Sunshine Precinct
Becoming the centre of Melbourne’s booming west providing key opportunities to boost employment, investment and liveability. Underpinned by transport connections to Melbourne’s CBD, Melbourne Airport Rail, the Suburban Rail Loop and regional rail network, the Sunshine Precinct will leverage from the $20 billion investment in infrastructure in Melbourne’s West, including the $4.1 billion Sunshine Superhub(opens in a new window).
The Sunshine Precinct will build on the area’s existing strengths in healthcare, education and manufacturing to develop a vibrant urban environment that provides high quality affordable housing and strong employment growth.
With Sunshine’s population expected to more than double over the next 30 years, the Victorian Government released a Precinct Opportunity Statement for Sunshine to give government, the community and investors the confidence about how the Sunshine Precinct will grow and develop over time.
Much of forecast growth and change in the Sunshine Precinct will be centred around three distinctive hubs - Sunshine Station, Sunshine CBD and Albion Quarter.
The Victorian Government’s Sunshine Precinct Opportunity Statement informs how the Sunshine Precinct will grow and develop over time.
