Summary of document

North East Link will finally connect the missing link in Melbourne’s road network between the M80 Ring Road and the Eastern Freeway or EastLink.

Community engagement is playing an important role in shaping early strategic planning for North East Link.

In August 2017 we released four potential corridors and asked communities for feedback on how we are planning the project and investigating how the corridors might perform in fixing the missing link in Melbourne’s freeway network.

We heard from people living in the north-east as well as people likely to use North East Link.

Overall, we heard you want community engagement to be an ongoing part of planning and building North East Link. We also heard we can do a better job explaining the project stages, what role you can play in decision-making and what kind of feedback we are asking for.

This report provides a summary of community feedback received from August to October 2017 about early strategic planning work for the project.

Community engagement will continue to play an important role in planning for North East Link.
