Company Profile
North East Link Program
Company Overview
North East Link is the biggest ever investment in Melbourne’s north-east – changing the way people move around Melbourne.
Victoria’s longest road tunnels will fix the missing link in our city’s freeway network, take 15,000 trucks off local roads a day and slash travel times by up to 35 minutes. We’ll also complete the Ring Road in Greensborough, overhaul the Eastern Freeway, build Melbourne’s first dedicated busway and the North East Trail – more than 34km of walking and cycling paths.
The North East Link Program, together with the Level Crossing Removal Project, West Gate Tunnel Project, Major Road Projects Victoria and Rail Projects Victoria form the Major Transport Infrastructure Authority.
Overseen by the Director-General, the Major Transport Infrastructure Authority is an Administrative Office of the Department of Transport (DoT) in Victoria, responsible for the development and delivery of a range of transport infrastructure projects for Victoria.
If you are interested in any legal or commercial roles on client/government side with the North East Link Program, please contact NELP-Recruitment@northeastlink.vic.gov.au. We look forward to hearing from you!
