A suite of new infrastructure projects in Kororoit has been announced by the state government to help more families access essential services close to home.
Kororoit will benefit from more than $27 million worth of projects funded through the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) fund, aimed at supporting Victorian families in some of the state’s fastest growing suburbs.
Projects in Kororoit include, $15 million for a new government school in Rockbank North, $11 million for a new shared user path along Hopkins Road and $1.3 million for active transport connections along Taylors Road.
The state government is investing a total of $400 million into 37 infrastructure projects across Cardinia, Casey, Hume, Melton, Mitchell, Whittlesea and Wyndham local government areas through the GAIC fund.
These projects complement the more than $685 million worth of initiatives already delivered across Melbourne’s growth areas through the GAIC fund – including ambulance sites, parks, schools and public transport.
The GAIC fund is a one-off contribution payable by landowners developing land that has been zoned for urban use and development in these specific local government areas.
“We’re building new schools and more cycling and walking paths to ensure our growing communities can access jobs, schools and services they deserve,” said Kororoit MP Luba Grigorovitch.
