A major road that connects Melton and Wyndham has opened.
The Mt Mary Road in Eynesbury stretches five kilometres connecting residents living in Eynesbury to neighbouring Wyndham, providing 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, sayid 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 opening of Mt Mary Road was on October 27, highlighted by the inaugural “Run the Road” event hosted by Resimax Group in partnership with the Black Dog Institute.
Melton MP Steve McGhie said they were thrilled to see the local community benefiting from new infrastructure, such as Mt Mary Road, that connects them to vital services, amenity and social links.
