With key approvals now in place and following a competitive procurement process, John Holland Group has been appointed as the main contractor for Stage 1, with site preparation and construction set to begin.
Located near Beveridge, around 50km north of Melbourne, the new precinct is being built alongside the Hume Highway and will form the southern end of Inland Rail.
Stage 2 planning is underway, which will include an associated 200 hectares co-located industrial land precinct and terminal capacity expansion.
