Cardinia Creek South (Part 2)
The Cardinia Creek South precinct (formerly McPherson) was approved by the Minister for Planning in December 2018 and gazetted in January 2019 under Amendment C221 to the Casey Planning Scheme. The Amendment excluded an area from the parent PSP as a result of a Panel recommendation and uncertainty at that time about the location of the Clyde Regional Park.
The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) will be preparing an amendment to the Casey Planning Scheme for the land within the Part 2 area of the Cardinia Creek South Precinct Structure Plan.
The VPA will prepare the amendment in consultation with the City of Casey, government agencies, service authorities, and landowners.
The Part 2 area covers 104 hectares north of McCormacks Road, west of the Cardinia Creek South. The precinct will provide for a mix of residential, open space and drainage uses.

Project Status Update – November 2024
The Premier and Minister for Planning have announced a 10-year plan for Melbourne’s greenfields, and Cardinia Creek South (Part 2) is a part of that plan.
A 10-year plan for Melbourne’s greenfields
The Victorian Government has released Victoria’s longest ever pipeline of new land for homes and jobs in Melbourne’s greenfields, with 27 additional greenfield areas to commence planning over the next 10 years. This pipeline gives developers the confidence to invest early and get shovels in the ground sooner to deliver more homes.
The 27 new plans will be developed over three horizons. The horizons provide a program of work to deliver the new PSPs over the next 10 years, balancing the delivery of residential and employment areas as well as infrastructure capacity.
Find out more about the 10-year plan for Melbourne’s greenfields.
The Minister for Planning also approved the VPA Business Plan 2024-25, outlining our work program and priorities for this financial year.
Commencing our planning for Cardinia Creek South (Part 2)
In the coming months, we will formally commence Cardinia Creek South (Part 2) as a VPA planning project.
Cardinia Creek South (Part 2) is in this year’s VPA Business Plan and is in Horizon 1 of the 10-year plan for Melbourne’s greenfields. Planning for this project will begin this financial year, with completion targeted by 2026/27.
This is a strong commitment from Government for us to get on with our planning for Cardinia Creek South (Part 2), and to streamline and fast track the delivery of our plans where possible.
In the coming months, we will be working with Casey City Council and our partners across government to finalise scoping up this project, confirm funding and formally commence planning. The commencement of the project will be subject to securing full project funding via third party contributions.
