Victorian government reconsiders Melbourne Airport Rail design due to $7bn funding offer from airport consortium.

Victorian Deputy Premier Ben Carroll indicates that the state government may reconsider Melbourne Airport Rail design due to a $7bn funding offer from airport consortium. The proposal includes an underground station and express tracks. The project, initially estimated to cost $8-13bn, has faced delays since 2020, and the current target is 2033. The government has preferred an elevated station, but could entertain the underground option if fully funded by the consortium.
