Construction on the highly-anticipated Clyde North Police Station has officially begun.
The site is located on the corner of Newgrange Boulevard and Matterhorn Drive.
Police Minister Anthony Carbines visited the site on Tuesday 17 September to inspect progress on the build following the commencement of preparatory ground works in August.
The project is part of a $78 million State Government investment for Melbourne’s South East.
The police station will accommodate uniform police officers and include interview rooms, conference rooms, discrete public consultation facilities and a high-level of security.
During construction, according to the State Government, Clyde North is being serviced by existing police resources in the area, including the 24-hour Cranbourne Police Station, which is approximately 10 minutes away.
The station build, managed by construction company ADCO, is expected to be completed in late 2025.
“As our community grows, so does our need for the best possible facilities, especially when it comes to safety and wellbeing. I look forward to following the progress of the station’s construction as it develops,” Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards said.
“The Clyde North and surrounding community is well serviced by existing police resources in the area and this new 24-hour station investment will provide a physical base to further support our community,” Bass MP Jordan Crugnale said.
Clyde North was first proposed in 2018 with an original completion date in 2022.
