Working with businesses
We’re delivering 3 massive projects across the north east. Victoria's longest twin road tunnels will fix the missing link in Melbourne’s freeway network, we’ll also complete the M80 Ring Road in Greensborough, deliver Eastern Freeway Upgrades including Melbourne's first dedicated busway.
These projects are expected to generate significant benefits for businesses – including improved accessibility, reduced travel times and enhanced transport network safety. Nevertheless, a number of business properties have been acquired for North East Link and there is potential for indirect impacts on other businesses.
Businesses affected by construction on North East Link are kept informed and regularly updated of the project status during the planning and construction stages to enable them to manage and minimise disruption to their employees. This also includes working with local councils to identify alternative location options for displaced businesses.
Consultation and engagement with businesses would continue through the Business Liaison Groups (BLG) throughout the construction of these 3 massive projects – starting with a key focus on tunnelling.
