Kingston Council looks forward to helping the Victorian Government to deliver upon the hundreds of millions of dollars in commitments made across the City of Kingston, in the lead up to the state election.
Mayor Georgina Oxley said that she welcomes the significant commitments made to Kingston’s roads, parks and sporting facilities, and looks forward to seeing many of these projects get started.
“The largest commitments made in Kingston include the investment in a 355-hectare Chain of Parks which will link Warrigal Road in Moorabbin to Braeside Park in Dingley Village, along with more than $400 million towards Mordialloc Freeway works,” said Cr Oxley.
The Chain of Parks are part of a $150 million investment to create more than 6,500 hectares of parkland and new walking and bike trails across Melbourne.
The Victorian Government has committed to spend more than $400 million on the Mordialloc Freeway, after the release of an Environment Effects Statement revealed that it will take thousands of trucks off the road in the south east. “This will commence this financial year with a budget commitment of $75 million. The project will also include a shared user-path along the entire length of the 9-kilometre freeway, offering a safer route for cyclists and pedestrians,” said Cr Oxley.
