The Victorian State budget was released today - see also the coverage on the ABC website.
One of our intrepid readers has found details relating to the Regional Rail Link, in "Appendix E: Victorian Transport Plan". The funding committed is as follows:
- 2009-2010: $42m
- 2010-2011: $510m
- 2011-2012: $863m
- 2012-2013: $1389m
- 2013-2014: $1245m
By comparison, the budget allocated for the Westlink road tunnel is $5m this financial year and $5m in 2010-2011 (presumably for consultants and consultation) even though the total allocation is $2.8bn.
And in "Chapter 3: Department of Transport" it shows the Regional Rail Link steps "commence land acquisition process" and "tenders sought for first works package" both scheduled for the second quarter of 2010-2011, in other words by the end of 2010.
