The Albanese Labor Government, in partnership with the Victorian Government, is investing over $3.3 billion in road and rail projects to boost economic growth, improve connectivity, and ease congestion.

Melbourne Airport Rail Link

A key investment is the long-awaited rail link to Melbourne Airport. The Commonwealth is adding $2 billion to transform Sunshine Station into a major transport hub, bringing the total federal commitment to $7 billion. This will enable direct airport access for regional travelers without detouring through Southern Cross Station.

Suburban Road Blitz

A $1.2 billion Suburban Road Blitz will enhance key road networks, with immediate upgrades including:

• Old Sydney Road, Wallan ($45 million)

• Evans Road, Cranbourne West ($30 million)

• McLeod Rd and Station Street, Carrum ($3 million)

Rail and Road Enhancements

Additional investments include:

• $325 million for the Melton Line upgrade, boosting rail capacity by 50%.

• $20.5 million for Melbourne Western Suburbs Rail planning.

• $7.05 million for Melbourne Northern Suburbs Rail planning.

• $44.8 million in Princes Highway Corridor upgrades.

• $10 million for a business case to upgrade freight vehicle network roads and structures.

A More Connected Future

These projects will create jobs, drive economic growth, and enhance transport efficiency for Victorians. With work starting this year, Victoria’s transport future is being built today.
