Ex-sewerage plant to become retail precinct.

A disused Melbourne Water sewerage site in Dandenong South is set to become the jewel in the city’s crown. The State Government has pledged $150 million to develop the land into a commercial and residential hub. Major Projects Minister, John Lenders announced that the 180-hectare site off Kirkham Road would be transformed to a picturesque retail precinct with nearby housing, wetlands and open space near Dandenong Creek. The project will be run in joint partnership with Melbourne Water and government development body VicUrban, which is already responsible for the $92 million Revitalising Central Dandenong project. The project’s timeline will remain unclear until contamination at the site is cleared by Melbourne Water.
