Project Background
The Melton East precinct is located 35km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD, to the east of the existing Melton township and covers the suburb of Grangefields and we encourage people living and working in this suburb and surrounds to provide their input.
The precinct covers an area of 1,005ha, bounded by Kororoit Creek to the north-east, Western Freeway to the south, Leakes Road to the east and the Melton Highway to the north-west and is planned to be home to 14,000 homes, accommodating 43,000 residents in its ultimate form.
The precinct will complement existing surrounding development through the provision of residential and commercial opportunities. The precinct is included in the Melbourne Strategic Assessment area and includes Biodiversity Conservation Strategy conservation areas along Kororoit Creek.
