Large road network

Planning and investment in large road network is needed to address connectivity to jobs, education, healthcare, public transport, family and opportunity. 

Hume Freeway expansion

The Hume Freeway is Australia's most critical transport corridor. It connects Melbourne and Sydney, services the nation's highest-value freight route and links to Sydney Road, a major thoroughfare for the inner north.  For local communities, it is also a vital connector to jobs, education, healthcare, public transport, family and opportunity. 

The Hume is now capacity, straining under the pressure of significant population growth, industrial expansion, and surging freight volumes.

OMR/E6

We need funding for planning of the Outer Metropolitan Ring (OMR)/E6 Transport Corridor, including fast rail capability. 

The OMR/E6 Transport Corridor is critical to unlocking the full economic, employment and liveability potential of Melbourne's rapidly growing outer north and west.
