The next step in the Revitalising Central Dandenong project has been given the green light and is expected to deliver jobs, new homes, commercial and retail space, as well as a new Little India Precinct.
The State Government has approved a Planning Scheme Amendment, allowing developers Capital Alliance to move ahead with the next phase of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project, which was launched in 2006.
Greater Dandenong City Council CEO Jacqui Weatherill said that over the life of the project Dandenong would see more than $1.2 billion in private investment, create nearly 500 new homes and 5,000 jobs.
This stage of the development will include 470 new homes, 2500sq metres of community space and new commercial and retail spaces, including a new supermarket and food market hall.
Council is proud to work with Capital Alliance and the State Government to finalise the development plan for final approval.
