Overview

Elite Park will transform the vacant 32-hectare site located between the Tullamarine Freeway and Airport Drive into a leisure, entertainment and retail destination. The proposed precinct will complement the nearby URBNSURF facility and Essendon Football Clubโ€™s training grounds by bringing new and exciting commercial tenants to the airport precinct.

Key features

  • Economic and community benefits: Expected to contribute $246 million per year to Victoriaโ€™s economy while supporting around 2,140 new jobs โ€“ particularly benefiting the Hume and Brimbank communities.
  • Diverse tenant mix: Early interest from prospective tenants in leisure and entertainment, large-format retail, and food and beverage outlets.
  • Green infrastructure: The design includes a landscaped pedestrian thoroughfare, extensive green spaces and links to existing bike paths and bus routes.

Development timeline

Subject to federal government approval, development will occur in stages over nine years.
