Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV), the Promoter, is upgrading the Lyndarum Drive and Epping Road intersection. During this time Lyndarum Drive will be closed at Epping Road from Wednesday, 6 August 2025, until 18 October 2025. The Epping Road Service Road north of Lyndarum Drive will also closed during these works.
We understand that roadworks can impact local businesses, and we're committed to supporting them. That's why we're launching "Shop to the Top," a competition designed to benefit traders within the Epping North shopping precinct; located within the Epping North Shopping Centre and along Lyndarum Drive. The competition will also benefit local schools and kindergartens.
How you can make a difference
We are inviting local schools, preschools, and kindergartens within 300 metres of the project area to compete for significant cash prizes. For each dollar spent at participating stores, you will contribute one point for your chosen school.
All members of the public can participate by shopping at these stores and assigning their points to their preferred school among the list of participating schools.
No minimum spend is required. Every purchase, big or small, helps your chosen school. To submit your entry for proof of purchase, take a photo of your receipt and complete our easy online form. Alternatively, customers can write the name of their preferred school on the hard copy receipt and drop it into an entry box located in the Epping North Shopping Centre.
Competition details
The " Shop to the Top" competition runs for eight weeks, from Saturday 23 August 2025 to Saturday 18 October 2025.
We will be awarding prizes as follows:
Category 1:
Primary and secondary schools:

Category 2:
Primary and secondary schools
- The school with the highest average spend per student will win a $4,000 cash prize

Winning schools and kindergartens must use the prize money for equipment or improvements that benefit the school/kinder community and align with the public benefit purpose of this initiative.
