Route 66 Custom Car and Bike Club purchased a block of land at 2 Millett Road, Gisborne South on the Calder Freeway. The plan is to convert the ex-service station into a Route 66 Custom Car & Bike Club Roadhouse/Cafe. This will be a place for members and their families to come, hang out, have a burger, show off their cars, and meet with other like minded members. At the moment VicRoads is objecting the proposed development because they believe it is a safety hazard, and no other commercial businesses are located on the Freeway. But we argue otherwise, if appropriate safety measures are put into place, then the development will not be a safety issue. You can read more about the issue at the following website:
We have reached one hundred signatures. I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the local council planning department detailing our proposed traffic mitigation strategies.

We are approaching the one hundred signature mark which provides the necessary leverage for our upcoming submission to the planning department. I am finalizing the formal case to address the VicRoads safety concerns and need this additional capacity to demonstrate significant public demand.

I currently live in romsey but i have grown up in the macedon ramges my whole life and loved this place when it was a fuel station. To have a beautiful attractive cafe there would be amazing instead of the dumping ground that it is today. Come on people its not rocket science make it great again.

This would be a fantastic location for motoring social groups and clubs to meet and depart. The Route 66 club is run by pasionate people who are very welcoming and generous to their members and the greater community. I would love to have a location like this so close to my home.

Owner of 1 Head Lane Gisborne south.This building was a cafe for many years as far back as the 1950's and right up to the late eighties.Residents in the area enjoyed the convenience of a shop in an otherwise isolated area.

I think a place like has been proposed would a fantastic tourist venue as well as providing somewhere to grab a meal without having to take the crappy fast food options currently available on the Calder. It would also be of great value to the local car scene.

This site has been derolict for many yrs now and would be a perfect place for a motoring style cafe. The west of Melbourne has nothing to offer car/bike enthusiasts like the east does, and with its great views and easy access would make a great place to start one
