East Werribee Precinct

A large-scale metropolitan growth precinct supporting health, education, research and mixed-use development in Melbourne’s high-growth west.

East Werribee is one of Victoria’s largest metropolitan development opportunities offering investors and developers the scale, certainty and infrastructure needed to build and grow at pace.

Located in Melbourne’s high-growth west, the precinct spans one of the largest contiguous development sites in Victoria.  It supports mixed-use, commercial, industrial and institutional investment, underpinned by established education, health, research and justice assets that de-risk early investment and enable immediate activation.

With strong long-term population growth, sustained government commitment and a significant proportion of publicly owned land, East Werribee enables coordinated precinct-wide development.  This creates clear pathways for industry clustering, infrastructure delivery and future expansion – at metropolitan scale.
