The Pakenham Revitalisation Project represents a substantial commitment to the future of Pakenham, one of Victoria’s most rapidly expanding regions. With a detailed plan Public Realm Plan guiding us, we will create a vibrant, active, and connected town.

Drawing on community insights, this project is committed to making Pakenham a place for people. It’s about evolving Pakenham into a destination that attracts people, rather than just a place they pass through. The project will enhance town-wide connectivity, linking the new train station and community hospital, and fostering more vibrant, active streets.

This 12-stage project is poised to revitalise the heart of Pakenham, increasing pedestrian activity and providing for a lively night-time economy. This transformation will not only benefit local businesses but also reinvigorate the town centre as a prime destination.

Safety is a key focus, with speed reductions, enhanced pedestrian crossings, and lighting enhancements planned. Accessibility will be improved through wider footpaths and reconfiguration of parking spaces. A focus on community connection is evident with the inclusion of street furniture, gathering spaces, and flexible spaces for activations and events in the masterplan.

This revitalisation is part of a series of transformative developments taking place across Pakenham. These works include the construction of two new train stations, a community hospital, duplicated arterial roads, traffic light signalisation, and enhanced freeway access. These developments, together with the Revitalisation Project, will shape Pakenham into a vibrant centre for both locals and tourists, and meet the needs of our growing population.

Pakenham is undergoing major transformation, with many concurrent projects happening. We are working with all levels of government to provide the infrastructure our growing community needs.
