An employment-led precinct for Melbourne's north.
Prepared by the Victorian Planning Authority, Merrifield North is being planned as a jobs hub next to Merrifield — ~4,800 planned jobs, a local town centre, schools and a green-spine open-space network.
Positioning the corridor as the north's biggest jobs precinct — activity, industry and services.
Retail, services and community facilities integrated with the employment precinct.
Government and non-government school sites reserved as the precinct matures.
Conservation and green-spine networks — extents being resolved during PSP prep.
If any, to be confirmed by the PSP. Employment-led plan.
Northern extension being resolved to connect employment areas to the freeway.
