A new state government department will make Williams Landing home in 2019.
Construction has begun on a new four-storey building along Overton Road, that will be fully leased to the Victorian State Government (Minister for Finance) for at least 15 years.
The building will form part of the greater Williams Landing Town Centre and will accommodate up to 320 employees.
Construction is expected to be complete by October next year.
The project is the third commercial building built in Williams Landing by developer Cedar Woods, which is also responsible for the Target Australia headquarters set to be complete at the end of this year.
Cedar Woods chief operating officer Patrick Archer said the new development proved Williams Landing was quickly becoming a white-collar employment precinct.
“Employers continue to value our excellent train and road access and proximity to the Melbourne CBD and western suburbs workforce, along with the retail, leisure and services amenities at Williams Landing Town Centre,” he said.
Wyndham council future focused economy portfolio holder Walter Villagonzalo added: “With Wyndham outgrowing cities like Greater Geelong, the jobs that this project will bring to our city are indeed welcome”.
