The business community plays an important role in generating and supporting economic prosperity for Melbourne and Victoria. This role will only grow in significance as our population increases, with central Melbourne projected to become Australia’s largest business centre with almost 900,000 jobs by 2051.

The Metro Tunnel Project will support this growth, with more frequent and reliable train services making it easier to travel to the CBD and move around the city for business, shopping, tourism and events.

The project will also stimulate urban renewal in inner city areas such as Arden and provide rail access for the first time to Parkville and St Kilda Road to create opportunities for new commercial development, jobs and housing close to the city centre.

As with any major infrastructure project in a large, busy city like Melbourne there will be some disruption to day to day operations in and around Metro Tunnel construction sites.

The level of disruption to business activity will vary depending on the location of the business, the type of construction activity and duration of works.
