Our goals

As part of our early work, we've defined what North East Link should achieve.

This helped us to compare how different options might perform against a range of criteria and to select the solution that will deliver the best outcomes for the north-east, Melbourne and Victoria.

Objectives tell us what any option for North East Link needs to achieve.

Our objectives include:

• Improve connections and access for residents
• Improve connections and access for business
• Improve freight efficiency and industrial growth
• Improve safety and reduce local congestion for communities

Principles guide how we will plan and design the new road.

Our principles include:

• Minimise impacts on communities
• Minimise impacts on environmental and cultural assets
• Minimise impacts during construction
• Use resources efficiently
