Connect outer Melbourne
Melbourne is growing at an astonishing rate, much faster than many had expected. By June 2007, there were 85,000 more residents in Melbourne than projections made just three years earlier. Melbourne’s population is growing by 1,200 people a week and is expected to top 4.5 million in 2020, a full decade earlier than Melbourne 2030 policy makers had expected. It has been suggested that Melbourne may overtake Sydney as the nation’s biggest city by 2028. Much of Melbourne’s growth has taken place in the outer suburbs, with 1.91 million people already residing here. The State Government’s decision to fast-track the development of 90,000 residential blocks in outer Melbourne’s growth corridors will mean many more to come. With rapid growth comes the immediate need to upgrade transport services and infrastructure to meet the growing demands of outer Melbourne.
