Casey Council announced that work is now complete on stage one of the Missens Road upgrade in Cranbourne West.
It said it marked an important milestone for the area’s future growth and economic opportunities.
The $6.8 million project, funded via development contributions and delivered in partnership with industrial developer Auoro Pty Ltd, has upgraded approximately 500 metres of Missens Road, including intersections with Gwen and Volk Road.
Mayor Cr Stefan Koomen said the completion of stage one unlocks significant opportunities for Cranbourne West.
“This project has been a long time coming, and it’s exciting to see it now complete,“ he said.
“It not only improves the local road network, but it also unlocks over 15 hectares of employment land.
“This paves the way for more than 300 local jobs and economic opportunities in Casey.“
Quarters Ward Cr Carolyn Eaves said the project reflects the Council’s commitment to delivering infrastructure that benefits residents and supports growth.
“This investment in Cranbourne West ensures our community can develop in a sustainable way. Connecting people to jobs and businesses to the infrastructure they need,” she said.
Future stages of the Missens Road upgrade will include:
Construction of the southern leg of the Thompsons Road/Missens Road signalised intersection, and extension of Missens Road south to connect with the existing Missens Road terminus at the northern boundary of the Evans Park Cranbourne estate, creating a continuous road from Thompsons Road in the north to Central Parkway in the south.
