## Resource

Melbourne’s outer north is racing against time as local leaders demand the state government buy land now for a new hospital and train station—before explosive population growth outpaces infrastructure. With suburbs swelling at over four percent annually and emergency rooms already overwhelmed, mayors argue proactive planning is non-negotiable. The proposed hospital would serve Cloverton’s future 380,000 residents, while extending the Upfield line promises better access. While the government points to existing investments and new community hospitals, critics say they’re still missing critical emergency care and long-term strategy—highlighting the urgent need to build ahead, not react.
