The City of Casey is seeking major investment from the state and federal government to upgrade and extend Thompsons Road from Berwick-Cranbourne Road in Clyde to Koo Wee Rup Road in Pakenham.

The project will deliver:

• A 30km cross-metropolitan high-capacity transport, freight and public transport route from Carrum to Pakenham, servicing Frankston, Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia
• Unlock the southeast employment corridor (up to 100,000 local jobs) and new freight and residential land and creating over 500 construction jobs
• Enable regional connections to Gippsland (M1), South Gippsland (C422), Mornington Peninsula (M780 and M11) and the EastLink (M3).
