Public Transport minister welcomes funding, but says project must stack up

Victorian public transport minister Jacinta Allan has welcomed news $5 billion of federal funding is available for a train line to Melbourne Airport.

However, she says the business case “must stack up” before the state government agrees to build it.

She spoke with Tom Elliott on 3AW Drive.

“We already think it’s a good idea because we started the planning work,” Ms Allan said.

“We certainly welcome funds to Victoria.”
