Designs for the new Narrre Warren Police Station have been revealed, following the release of the Clyde North Police Station designs in March.

Backed by the State Government, the state-of-the-art stations are part of a $78 million investment in Melbourne’s growing south-east corridor, and will provide modern facilities and law enforcement infrastructure for Victoria Police.

Under this investment, Narre Warren Police Station will receive a major upgrade, while Clyde North will receive a brand-new station.

“Our record investments are about making sure Victoria Police has all the resources they need to keep the community safe,” Minister for Police Anthony Carbines said.

“We’re delivering modern police stations equipped with future-proofed design features so our police have the facilities they need now and into the future.”

Member for Narre Warren South Gary Maas MP, also noted that the upgrade to Narre Warren’s current station will go a long way in upholding community safety.

“Victoria Police keep our community safe and I am looking forward to the next phases of delivering this important police station major upgrade for Narre Warren and surrounding suburbs,” he said.

“The officers and staff at Narre Warren Police Station do so much for our community and I know they are looking forward to the upgrade of their facility.

“The Allan Labor Government is backing our police with contemporary and innovatively designed police stations that will help them uphold the law and promote a safe, secure and orderly society.”

Tenders for construction will be released in the coming months, inviting builders to enter a formal submission to build the stations.
