East West Link eastern section planning approval a positive for business

VECCI Chief Executive Mark Stone said the chamber has welcomed the announcement by the Victorian Minister for Planning, Matthew Guy, that approval has been given for the eastern section of the East West Link project. 

"VECCI has long advocated for this vital piece of infrastructure to be built in its entirety, including the port connection, and this announcement is another step towards this becoming a reality," Mr Stone said.

"As reinforced in our Taking Care of Business state election agenda, VECCI ranks East West Link as the number one infrastructure project for Victoria. 

"By reducing congestion it will increase the capacity of Melbourne’s transport network, unlock productivity gains for business and improve social amenity, particularly in Melbourne’s expanding residential areas."
