Acting planning minister Lily D’Ambrosio said this precinct will add more than $1 billion to the Victorian economy over the coming years .

“We’re ensuring the new community at Pakenham East is supported by the best infrastructure in the right places,” D’Ambrosio said.

“Pakenham East will provide an economic boost for the local community, with a pipeline of development for new homes, employment and community infrastructure.”

The new suburb will take advantage of the residential market turnaround where property prices have jumped 9.5 per cent since the end of September.
