The Point Cook police station is a step closer to reality after construction began last weeK.
Work started at the Homestead Road site on Friday, January 31 and is expected to be completed by the middle of next year.
The new station will cost $25 million.
Key works are set to include the construction of a single-story building, creating new car parking and landscaping, road widening and miscellaneous upgrades.
The state government said the station will be a vital resource for one of Victoria’s fastest growing suburbs.
Point Cook MP Mathew Hilakari said the new station will better resource the community.
“The new police station will provide better resources for our officers— giving them everything they need to do their critical work in keeping our community safe,” he said.
Police Minister Anthony Carbines said the new facility was advanced.
“We’re delivering modern police stations equipped with advanced design features, so our police have the facilities they need now and into the future,” he said.
“As the community grows, so does the need for police resources – this new station is another investment in community safety in the west.”
