Greenlink Estate in Cranbourne West is a landmark 80-hectare industrial development being delivered for ESR — one of the country’s leading logistics real estate providers. With a total floor area of 24 hectares across the site, the estate will ultimately support over 6,500 jobs, contributing significantly to economic growth in Melbourne’s south-east.
To date, three civil stages have been completed, with major infrastructure including intersections now operational, and six large warehouses already constructed. A feature wetland is currently under construction and is expected to be fully completed by mid next year, adding important environmental and visual value to the estate.
This project has not been without its challenges. The site is located at the base of a 650m catchment and contains a live creek running through it — a constraint that required innovative planning and a temporary creek relocation to allow the first warehouse to proceed. Groundwater sitting just 1 metre below the surface further complicated earthworks and service installation, requiring careful geotechnical management and construction sequencing.
Additional complexities included:
-
Management and relocation of a longstanding stockpile of topsoil that had remained on site for years
-
Close coordination with Council and Traditional Owners, including smoking ceremonies attended by the City of Casey Mayor and local Indigenous representatives — highlighting the project's cultural sensitivity and community engagement
Greenlink Estate represents more than just large-scale industrial growth — it’s a model of how collaboration, environmental awareness, and respectful cultural practices can coexist with efficient land development. The site continues to evolve, with future stages set to further expand its contribution to employment, logistics infrastructure, and sustainable urban design.
