Getting to and from Craigieburn North.
Craigieburn North sits on Melbourne's northern growth corridor, between the Hume Freeway and the Sydney to Melbourne railway line. For buyers in the estates nearby, that means freeway access south to the city and two railway stations within about 6 km.
The Hume Freeway runs along the western edge of the precinct and Donnybrook Road along the northern edge, linking north to regional Victoria and south to Melbourne.
The Sydney to Melbourne railway line runs along the eastern edge. Donnybrook Station is about 4 km by road and Craigieburn Station, the end of the Craigieburn line, about 6 km.
Melbourne Airport is about 26 km by road, around 31 minutes' drive without traffic.
The plan aims to strengthen links to the Hume Freeway and the arterial road network, with land set aside for three road projects and seven intersection projects.
