Construction Begins On New Clyde North Police Station

The Allan Labor Government is getting on with delivering City of Casey residents a brand new police station, with construction now underway at the Clyde North site.

Minister for Police Anthony Carbines today visited the site, located on the corner of Newgrange Boulevard and Matterhorn Drive, Clyde North, to inspect progress on the build following the commencement of preparatory ground works last month. The building project is part of a $78 million Labor Government investment for Melbourne’s south east, which will also see Narre Warren police station receive major upgrades

The modern structure will ensure Victoria Police has access to the best possible facilities on the job.

The police station will accommodate uniform police officers and include interview rooms, conference rooms, discrete public consultation facilities and a high-level of security.

The Labor Government’s record $4.5 billion investment in Victoria Police has also delivered more than 3600 new sworn police officers, as well as state-of the-art intelligence systems, new technology and new or upgraded police stations. 

As part of this commitment, the Dandenong Division, which encompasses Clyde North, has received an additional 225 sworn police since 2016, including 33 family violence specialist police.

During construction, Clyde North is being serviced by existing police resources in the area, including the 24-hour Cranbourne Police Station, which is approximately 10 minutes away.

The station build, managed by construction company ADCO, is expected to be completed late next year.
