Following the closure of the Mooroolbark VicRoads, the new VicRoads Customer Hub in Ringwood is the closest centre to service the Upper Yarra.
The Maroondah Highway hub is the final step in bringing all VicRoads registration and licensing services to one location and was unveiled on Monday 18 July.
“Whether it is through licence renewals or updates to registration – we are making it easy to access all services in fast-growing suburbs to keep everyone moving on our roads,” Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Vicki Ward said.
Ringwood was selected as the location because of its centralisation to other services.
“We have got a centre where people will be able to be treated well, come in quickly, get the job sorted and head off to what else they want to do,” Ms Ward said.
“Ringwood’s a really interesting place. It is quite a hub within the eastern suburbs and the fact that it is so well resourced with Eastland, with Costco and with the train station, you’ve got so much going on in Ringwood, to have this hub right here where people naturally congregate makes their life so much easier.”
Digital self-serve kiosks will make it faster and easier for customers to pay their registration or renew their licences in the easily accessible spot opposite Eastland Shopping Centre and near public transport.
“We have created a hub of VicRoads services in the heart of Ringwood – which will benefit and service thousands of local customers,” Ringwood MP Dustin Halse said.
It follows the recently opened VicRoads Testing and Inspection Centre (TIC) on Heatherdale Road, which offers all licence testing and vehicle inspection services, as well as long vehicle testing.
The capacity of the new Hub, combined with the nearby TIC, means thousands of VicRoads customers will be able to access all the services they need in one of the state’s fastest growing regions.
