Better Public Transport Services for Greenvale
24 April, 2024
The Allan Labor Government is investing in new transport infrastructure projects in Greenvale to ensure more families have access to better public transport close to home.
Greenvale will benefit from more than $13 million worth of projects funded through the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) fund – supporting Victorian families in our fastest growing suburbs.
Projects in Greenvale include:
· $13.1 million to extend the 543 bus service to Craigieburn Central.
· $330,000 to upgrade amenities at Roxburgh Park Station.
The Labor Government is investing more than $400 million into 37 infrastructure projects across Cardinia, Casey, Hume, Melton, Mitchell, Whittlesea and Wyndham local government areas through the GAIC fund.
These projects complement the more than $685 million worth of initiatives already delivered across Melbourne’s growth areas through the GAIC fund – including ambulance sites, parks, schools and public transport.
The GAIC fund is a one-off contribution payable by landowners developing land that has been zoned for urban use and development in the Cardinia, Casey, Hume, Melton, Mitchell, Whittlesea and Wyndham local government areas.
The fund supports the Labor Government’s landmark Housing Statement by delivering key transport, health, community and education infrastructure to ensure communities in growing suburbs have access to the services they need, close to where they live.

“We know more Victorians want to live close to transport, schools and essential services – and this investment will deliver exactly the kind of infrastructure Victorian families need in our fastest growing suburbs.”

“This major new investment in bus services and local transport infrastructure will support our growing community. It means that families across Greenvale, especially newer estates in Greenvale north and Greenvale west, will have better public transport closer to home, enabling residents to get to school, work, shops and services.”
