Victoria ain't a business...

@@transcendkira i aint paying excessive state taxes because they over spent.

monorail mentioned, opinion dismissed

Yeah, because Sydney's monorail was such a wonderful success story, right?

the section in the video will be completed by 2034, the airport 2030, and further lines by 2052

transportation projects consist of 8% of the annual budget, health spending is the largest item and the North East Link is the largest single item in the transportation budget. What is the white elephant again?

have you even bothered to try doing any research at all? I get things can be frustrating and difficult and we want change in many many areas, but making baseless claims about all the money being taken by one project is just wrong. Less than 10% of the total budget is going to transport with most of that 10% going to road infrastructure (which is arguably going to long term provide less). Also, health constitutes the biggest proportion of the budget in spending, so parts of your point makes absolutely no sense. Yes there is an issue with the health system, but it is not due to money getting 'sucked up' by projects like this.

@@jackalcrackle their research consisted of reading a herald sun article

The metro tunnel is opening next year, opening three new stations in the city and expanding Flinders St and Melbourne central, as well as the Feds finally bullying the airport into letting the CBD-City-Dandenong route go ahead. I think the CBD has gotten a decent amount of investment in recent years and the suburbs, where most people live, can get some infrastructure crumbs. Traffic is insane in the south east, we need to get cars off the road and we gotta give people a reasonable alternative to driving. Buses aren't cutting it for Monash and Box Hill. We need to be a bit real about this lol The hysteria over this project would be a lot easier to take seriously if the opposition actually had something serious to say about the problem it is trying to fix. We've tried expanding the Monash, Springvale Rd, Hoddle St, Princes Hwy so I think it's fair the public transport network in the area gets a big improvement too. All they have is East-West link, which would not resolve this issue and we've voted to stop it three times now

lmaoooo. what an awful take made a liberal victoria bot

@@Raxecarical the EWL is a zombie project that won't die. Anti SRL folks will cry about muh open space then advocate for a freeway to run through royal park. Double standards all around

Obviously you have no clue how heavy rail networks are constructed in many similarly sized cities in other parts of the world (namely Europe and East Asia). Their urban networks are much smarter than ours and the SRL, while not perfectly planned out admittedly, is atleast a step in the right direction of decentralising Melbourne and replicating what other cities have already done.

The SRL authority still cannot tell one what type of rolling stock will be used?

That's actually not correct. Not everybody wants to have a family of their own. Hence why they don't need nor want a single storey detached house with a large front and rear garden and more bedrooms than what they need. Melbourne's urban sprawl is out of control enough as it is, and its density needs to be tightened up. Why don't you just admit that you're a NIMBY and be proud of it?

lmao. If you think medium density housing is expensive to construct per unit have you seen what new green field suburbs cost per unit?

You're literally just making this shit up as you go, huh...

the outer circle was mostly closed well over 100 years ago, it's not an up to date alignment that would function well for todays melbourne at all

urban sprawl

Inner suburbs are already (half) serviced by a tram network and more dense train nodes than further out... More trains would be great, more, improved, and better separated tram networks would be phenomenal, but this project is pretty necessary too in connecting some of the outer suburbs to the wider transport network. People live and work out there too.

@@theozziepotato you should visit the SRL burwood site, it's no longer just a line on a map

they have already lmao

Because a light rail line would take forever to go the same distance

Because for the distances involved, light rail is not fast enough. if the Suburban Rail Loop is a massive arc around Melbourne, it needs to be fast. Traffic can travel at 100kmh on the ring road, so it needs to compete with that.

Voting liberals will literally never get you anything. Liberals promised that Rowville, Doncaster will get a rail line but never delivered it. Liberals is in short for scammers and frauds voted in by their mates.

@salted-hmrg988 If you know anything about transport planning, you'd know light rail is terrible for long journeys. It's good in high density short to mid distance journeys where its relatively lower speed compared to heavy rail is good enough, and the density is high enough to justify the cost over a bus

@@mathewferstl7042 I get the Chinese made transport then spend 100 billion of tax payer money on loop shit from previous fired big4 director

@retabera tbf, the housing benefits have been advertised pretty heavily

@@mathewferstl7042 Not from the start. It has been framed as a transport project. It is primarily an urban renewal project.

@@retaberait’s always been about density near train stations That’s HOW they are funding it that’s what it’s all been about

@retabera in the early days in 2018, 2019. For sure but since the project matured, especially with the business case, urban renewal was a massive component, if not more important

@@retabera These kind of things are generally paid for through value capture.

not at all, melbourne needs a desperate update to its rail system, with growing housing the 'going to city to get to any other rail line' method is not viable, and the bus system is not adequate to fill in the gaps at present

Hi Matthew, Yes! We’re currently building the TBM site in Burwood. Crews are excavating a 19m deep, 38m long and 29m wide space for the TBMs to launch from. At Heatherton, crews are building a tunnel access structure at the site of the train stabling facility. These works will pave the way for tunnelling to start in 2026! Station box excavation is on the horizon. Stay tuned by signing up to our eNews: bigbuild.vic.gov.au/projects/suburban-rail-loop/subscribe

@@SuburbanRailLoopAuthority thank you!

mjcats2011 at it again with more information pulled out of thin air. The total cost of SRL east+north is going to be 60-70 billion. How is it that'll cost 50 billion before any tunnels are constructed? Just stop spreading misinformation to push BS beliefs

who cares it will make 100s of billions in the years to come.

were'd you get that information?

@mathewferstl7042 Law of averages. In any case it's moot because the Federal Government has ceased funding.

@mjcats2011 "no further money will be provided until the project has been assessed by infrastructure Australia." This in no sense means that funding has been ceased. You seem to think otherwise based off zero evidence or perhaps liberal talking points. Also how does the law of averages mean the project will cost 50 billion 1.7 times the cost of SRL east) before any tunnel is bored. You live on another planet.
