The Albanese Government is making critical investments in Victorian infrastructure, creating jobs and unlocking Melbourne\u2019s North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week\u2019s Budget delivers an additional $750 million to complete the Camerons Lane Interchange at the intersection of the Hume Freeway at Beveridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This takes the total Commonwealth Government commitment to the project to $900 million, part of our $19.2 billion investment in Victorian transport infrastructure over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Camerons Lane Interchange will support urban development in Melbourne\u2019s north, and ensure easier access to and over the freeway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will be integral to the development of the Beveridge Intermodal Precinct, which, once complete, will be the largest intermodal in Australia, expected to generate 20,000 jobs for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Beveridge Intermodal Precinct will transform the nation\u2019s supply chain, lowering costs for Australian businesses and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is strategically located on the Inland Rail route and will support double-stacked container services for 1,800 metre freight trains to Adelaide, Perth, Darwin and Brisbane via Parkes, or directly to Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are working closely with the Victorian Government on priority projects for the benefit of the Victorian community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the previous Morrison Government had a deluge of press releases with a drought of delivery, the Albanese Government is ensuring projects are properly scoped, designed and costed so they can actually be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are delivering a better future for all Australians, one made in Australia that builds economic opportunity and thriving communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe delivered a Budget this week for every Australian, from a Government working for all Australians.<\/p>
\u201cThis important Budget announcement for Victoria is focused on our national interest and building a Future Made in Australia.<\/p>
\u201cThis project won\u2019t just get Victorians moving, it\u2019s also creating thousands of jobs.<\/p>
\u201cBeing stuck in traffic doesn\u2019t just waste precious time you could be spending with the kids, friends or just getting on with life. It\u2019s bad for productivity too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Camerons Lane Interchange at Beveridge will help create thousands of jobs and unlock the potential of Melbourne\u2019s north while allowing us to work with the Victorian Government to deliver a full diamond interchange with the Hume Freeway.<\/p>
\u201cFor too long, the Morrison-Joyce Government neglected Melbourne\u2019s North \u2013 failing to deliver a single commitment for this area despite multiple promises over nine years.<\/p>
\u201cWe are working for all Australians to deliver significant infrastructure that connects communities, stimulates jobs and builds the future of our nation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Federal Member for McEwen Rob Mitchell:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Camerons Lane Interchange will unlock a huge employment multiplier to our region.<\/p>
\u201cI thank the Victorian Government for working closely with us to ensure the delivery of this and other critical projects.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
