Council adopted the Final Brimbank Response Strategy to Western Rail Plan (PDF 2.7MB) in June 2019.
It has been prepared to assist Council in articulating a draft vision for the Western Rail Plan, which includes the Melbourne Airport Rail Link, the Sunshine Super Hub, Melton and Wyndham rail lines electrification and the fast rail to Geelong and Ballarat.
It outlines the processes and projects which will assist Council with:
- the need for a Response to the Western Rail Plan
- the task and visioning for the investment as a whole
- how to inform a vision and deliver the benefits and outcomes for the Western Rail Plan.
One of the key actions from the Strategy is the development of a clear vision that communicates the transformative opportunities in Brimbank. In April 2021, Council adopted the Sunshine Priority Precinct Vision 2050 which was developed with over two years of community and stakeholder engagement.
