MELBOURNE — Victoria’s Big Build royal commission is examining critical timelines surrounding a work stoppage and a union takeover at the Gap Road infrastructure project, alongside allegations of deep political access.
During the ongoing hearings, inquiries are focusing on the circumstances of the construction disruption and how the CFMEU assumed control of the site. Evidence presented includes an internal memo asserting that the union maintained "unprecedented" access and influence over the former Andrews state government.
The proceedings continue to scrutinize the relationship between state infrastructure authorities, builders, and union representatives, shedding light on high-profile Victorian public works projects.
