Suburban Rail Loop a ‘once in a generation’ infrastructure project

Transport Minister Catherine King says the Suburban Rail Loop is a “one in a generation” infrastructure project. “The Suburban Rail Loop is a once in a generation infrastructure project that will transform the way in which people move about the state of Victoria and also reshape the way in which Victoria grows including where people live and the opportunities for people to live around public transport,” she said during Question Time on Wednesday. “We have made a capped contribution of $2.2 billion towards the early works of Suburban Rail Loop East and release of that funding is contingent on the program meeting the conditions under the National Land Transport Act.”
