A named future precinct - City of Hume (long-term planning)

Transport

Rail, freeway and airport, already in place.

One reason Sunbury keeps appearing in state growth planning is the infrastructure that already serves the township.

Rail

Sunbury station (Sunbury line terminus, plus Bendigo V/Line). Metro services run through to the city loop, and regional V/Line services pass through toward Bendigo.

Freeway

Calder Freeway (M79) south of Sunbury, connecting south to the Tullamarine Freeway and the Melbourne CBD, and north west toward the Macedon Ranges.

Air

Melbourne Airport is roughly 20km away, one of the shortest airport runs of any Melbourne growth area.

Future road upgrades

Road network changes for any future precinct would be determined through the precinct structure plan process and state road planning. Nothing specific has been announced for this area.
