Melbourne Airport unveils lifestyle destination development
Melbourne Airport has unveiled plans for the Elite Park development, an entertainment and lifestyle destination precinct.
The 32-hectare site, located between the Tullamarine Freeway and Airport Drive, is expected to support over 2,100 jobs.
Subject to Federal Government approval, Elite Park will be developed in three stages over a nine-year period, with development due to start in 2025.
The first new tenants are expected to be welcomed by the end of 2026.
Chief of Ground Transport, Property and Retail Jai McDermott said Elite Park is designed to be a destination for both work and leisure with entertainment and retail facilities.
“Melbourne Airport is more than just an airport. We are building community spaces that create jobs and places where people can spend time with friends and family,” he said.
Elite Park will support the continued growth of the City of Hume as a tourism destination. One of our expected tenants is Topgolf, who will bring their first facility to Melbourne.”
The development is expected to generate around $246 million in value to the Victorian economy each year.
Plans for the Elite Park precinct will go on formal public exhibition from today, with the community invited to provide feedback through 20 December.
