Project background

In February 2019, the Federal Government announced funding for a new multideck commuter carpark in the Heathmont Activity Centre.

Following this announcement, Council purchased the land at 127B Canterbury Road in Heathmont in 2020, to build the carpark.

Council then consulted with the community in 2021 on the proposed carpark. In response to the feedback, Council prepared the relevant design plans which were also taken out for consultation shortly thereafter.

In September 2022, the Federal Government announced the cancellation of the relevant funding stream for this project. With the Federal funding no longer available the carpark project did not proceed.

What's next?

Council is now consulting with the community on the future enhancement of the space at 127B Canterbury Road in Heathmont. In accordance with the Heathmont Structure Plan and the Maroondah Planning Scheme, the space will be transformed into an enhanced open space that will benefit the community.
