The first step to Melbourne finally getting its own airport rail link has started, with works kicking off to rebuild a major station. On Thursday, the federal and state government announced they were contributing $5 billion each to the Melbourne Airport Rail Link. The first part of the project is rebuilding Sunshine Station, which will cost $63.5 million of the investment.
SRL East is currently under construction and is planned to open in 2035. Construction costs for these sections of the tunnel would be about $96 billion, according to the report. The cost to operate the link until at least 2084 would be another $120 billion. However, the report said the project could have a net positive value up to $17.3 billion if it included “all expected benefits”.
