Transport Links

Melbourne's North is now even more attractive for business. An excellent highway and freeway network provides fast and efficient transit between MAB's three Business Parks and with the Northpoint Enterprise Park, the Melbourne metropolitan area, regional Victoria and Australia's major cities. The region is connected to rural Victoria and Southern New South Wales by two strategic road routes, the Hume and Calder Highways, and by the M80 Ring Road and City Link road and tunnel. This means the CBD and the Port of Melbourne are only 15-20 minutes or less away from key parts of the region.

The URLC's residential developments are inter-connected with these transport links.

Melbourne's North is the location of Melbourne Airport, a curfew free 24-hour international airport. The airport is the second biggest airfreight hub in Australia, consistently voted in the top five airports in the world, with leading international airfreight operators DHL and Lufthansa.

The airport has direct international air links to 125 destinations in 35 countries.

Comparisons of road transit times show that Melbourne's are around 15% quicker than those of Sydney - offering a competitive edge in Australia for speed and reliability.

The region also has access by rail to and from the Port of Melbourne and to other parts of Australia, via a unique combination of standard and broad gauge rail links.
