Check Infrastructure Australia's project pipeline, State Government announcements or City of Wyndham's website for the latest updates.
Growth Drivers
- Level crossing removal fast-track — Werribee line level crossing removals are being fast-tracked to make the line completely level-crossing free, supporting more services for the growth corridor.

Key Risks
