Passengers will have to wait until 2033 to take a train to Melbourne Airport, as the Victorian government takes an axe to major project spending to curb spiralling debt. Unveiling his 10th state budget on Tuesday, Treasurer Tim Pallas revealed Melbourne Airport Rail was set to be completed at least four years later than its target date of 2029.
5 billion to upgrade the hospitals and build the medical precinct before the 2022 state election, but Pallas denied the location change amounted to a broken promise. “The government believed that putting, originally, the location at Arden was a great leverage footprint for that precinct,” he said. “But as it transpired the proximity to the station and the rail line that we’re building really just made it impractical, probably increased cost and perhaps could have compromised patient care.
