Rockbank Major Town Centre is one step closer to becoming a reality, with all necessary permits and approvals in place.
Melton councillor Phillip Zada shared the news on Facebook, stating that this is a key milestone, and that council is thrilled to see progress moving in the right direction.
“The ball is now in the developer’s court to bring this much-anticipated project to life,” he said.
“This town centre will be a fantastic addition to Rockbank, and I look forward to seeing it take shape.”
Council city growth and development manager Blake De Alencar Angus said the permit includes a supermarket and specialty stores, as well as parking.
“Council has been working closely with the developer to satisfy conditional requirements of the planning permit and can confirm all approvals are now in place for the developer to proceed with the project.”
