The massive new suburb temporarily called "East Werribee" (pending winner of state government name competition) is planned to be a CBD located between Melbourne and Geelong. East Werribee will be 750 hectares in size and employ 60,000 people. The new suburb will be situated 25km from Melbourne and 40km from Geelong.
The suburb will have a mix of residential and commercial spaces centered around a 70 hectare waterway network and is situated between Werribee to the west and Point Cook to the east.
East Werribee will be Melbourne's largest infill development site and "will be the largest integrated business and residential development of government owned land in Victoria since Docklands", says the Department of Planning and Community Development.
7,000 homes are expected to be built to house 20,000 people medium and high density housing. Work on the $40 million diamond freeway interchange is expected to begin in 2014 and another $32 million of arterial road upgrades are expected.
