Cardinia calls for investment that will drive economic recovery, generate new activity, boost employment growth, and improve productivity and create jobs – where we live.

Almost 70% of our residents leave the area for work, causing issues with traffic congestion and road safety and leading to delays on all our major arterial roads.

Our economy needs support to remain competitive, attract investment, stimulate trade, and increase the number of people visiting our shire.

We want to work with all levels of government to stimulate economic growth, provide jobs, build industries, and create a more prosperous shire well into the future.

We’re working with the City of Casey, and together we're calling for the upgrade and extension of Thompsons Road from Berwick-Cranbourne Road in Clyde to Koo Wee Rup Road, in Pakenham.

This project will ease traffic congestion and provide an alternate east-west route to the Monash Freeway. This will unlock access to thousands of local jobs.

It will help to relieve major regional connections, change travel demands and enhance liveability of the region by attracting business and investment.

It will also improve access to employment by facilitating timely development and connections to employment land in Cranbourne North, Clyde North, Clyde, Officer South, Cardinia Road Employment Precinct and Pakenham, a precinct that is home to about 100,000 regional jobs.
