WHITTLESEA: Milestone for Beveridge
The City of Whittlesea has welcomed continued progress on the Beveridge Intermodal Precinct, with a significant milestone reached as ground was officially broken ground on Stage 1 of the nationally important freight infrastructure project.
The project will support increased rail freight capacity between Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
Stage 1 will deliver essential rail access and the construction of a new terminal designed to make freight movement faster, safer and more reliable.
City of Whittlesea Mayor, Cr Lawrie Cox (pictured), said: “The Beveridge Intermodal Precinct represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the City of Whittlesea’s community, delivering high-quality jobs and strengthening our local economy in ways that align with our long-term growth and employment strategies.
“The start of Stage 1 marks real momentum. This project will create meaningful local jobs and help ensure the City of Whittlesea keeps pace with rapid growth, while laying the foundation for future industry and logistics investment in our region.
“The precinct strengthens the City of Whittlesea’s role in Australia’s national freight network, opens up further opportunities for local businesses and industry.”
