Project Status Updates
Project Status Updates – November 2023
We have been working with the City of Casey to progress the planning for Croskell by engaging with government stakeholders through the agency validation process, which commenced in August.
Since our last update in July, we have:
- Completed the first draft of the precinct structure plan and received comments from state government agencies and the City of Casey.
- Progressed the Integrated Water Management Assessment with a follow up workshop with government stakeholders.
- Progressed the Integrated Transport Assessment and Utility Servicing Assessment.
- Appointed technical experts to undertake the design and costings of various infrastructure items that are proposed to be included in the Croskell Infrastructure Contributions Plan (ICP).
On 20 September, the Victorian Government released Victoria’s Housing Statement: The decade ahead 2024-2034, in which it announced the Victorian Planning Authority will continue preparing Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs) for new housing and jobs in Melbourne and regional Victoria. We will conduct further work across 21 projects to deliver more than 60,000 homes and 60,000 jobs. These projects will deliver a sustainable supply of greenfield land, and more jobs close to home.
Croskell is one of the 21 projects named in the Housing Statement.
In the coming months we will be focused on responding to agency validation feedback and finalising all outstanding technical reports in preparation for public consultation in the first half of next year.
We are now in the process of updating our work program and confirming new timings for this project. We will provide another update with more details on our next steps once our work program is confirmed.
