To transform Brimbank into the thriving metropolitan region Victoria needs it to be, we’re calling on the Federal and State Governments to build the long-promised Melbourne Airport Rail before the third runway.
Despite being one of Australia’s fastest growing regions, Melbourne’s west has been short-changed in government infrastructure funding. To keep up with its rapid population growth, urgent infrastructure projects such as Melbourne Airport Rail and the development of the Sunshine Precinct must be delivered now!
The airport rail project will provide a cost-effective, time-efficient, and sustainable public transport alternative for all, and developing Sunshine as a superhub will stimulate the economy in the west through tourism, education, housing, shopping, and business growth.
Despite many government promises over many years, there’s been next to no progress – no start dates, no certainty, leaving Melbourne’s west waiting.
With Melbourne Airport’s third runway opening in 2031, we can expect the already congested Tullamarine Freeway to be gridlocked.
What we're asking for
To show our governments we are serious about getting the west moving we’re launching our Rail Before Runway campaign – one of our Transforming Brimbank priorities, and you can help by sending letters to State and Federal political leaders.

Melbourne’s west deserves better.
