The $35-million first stage of the Suburban Rail Loop has started, but the government is yet to submit a business case to the nation’s chief infrastructure advisory body. | pwhatch

led by consultants at PwC that shut out most of cabinet and the then-head of the Transport department.

“If we waited for Infrastructure Australia to finalise all their assessment processes before starting work on projects, then the Metro Tunnel would be years away, 65 level crossings would not have been removed, and we would not be building Melbourne Airport Rail,” she said.The state government has said the cost-benefit ratio for the first two stages suggests that for every $1 spent on the project, between $1.10 and $1.70 would be returned.

Michael Buxton, professor of Environment and Planning at RMIT, said it was remarkable the state government committed to the project months before the 2018 election without knowing how much it would cost or considering alternatives.
