A major road that connects Melton and Wyndham will open in the coming weeks.
The Mt Mary Road in Eynesbury stretches five kilometres connecting residents living in Eynesbury to neighbouring Wyndham and will provide access to additional healthcare, schooling and retail services.
Mt Mary Road will directly connect to the previously completed Greenhill Road.
Both roads were constructed by developer Resimax.
According to Melton council, 75 per cent of Eynesbury residents commute to work via car, 20 per cent higher than the average for Greater Melbourne.
Resimax founder and managing director Aziz “Ozzie” Kheir said there had been a lengthy period of stagnation and little to no new investment into these evidently in-demand infrastructure services.
“Transport links within Eynesbury and surrounding suburbs have not kept up with its rapid population growth over the past ten years, which naturally fuelled above average reliability amongst residents on their cars,” he said.
“When Resimax Group took over the development of Eynesbury, we made it our immediate priority to commence the delivery of Mt Mary Road and Greenhills Road to improve this lack of connectivity.
“By allowing neighbouring municipalities to connect to Eynesbury, it also allowed us to ensure the suburb’s long-term growth and prosperity, whilst improving travel times for residents living there.”
The public had the chance to run along Mt Mary Road on October 27 for the inaugural Run the Road event hosted by Resimax Group in partnership with the Black Dog Institute.
