An Albanese Labor Government will deliver city-changing infrastructure for all Victorians, partnering with the Andrews Government to help build the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL).  

 

The SRL will transform how Victorians move around the state. When complete, this 90km rail line will link every major rail line from the Frankston Line to the Werribee Line via Melbourne Airport, better connecting Victorians to jobs, retail, education, health services and those they love. 
 
The SRL will see transport super hubs at Clayton, Broadmeadows and Sunshine, and regional Victorians will be able to get to employment, world-class hospitals and universities in the suburbs – without having to travel through the CBD.  

This is a once in a generation opportunity to reshape the way Victoria grows.  
 
Given Victoria is expected to grow to 11.2 million people by 2056 and Greater Melbourne to reach around 9 million people – a similar size to London today – this project is needed to keep Victoria moving. 
 
SRL East will deliver 26km twin tunnels with six underground stations at Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Burwood, Glen Waverley and Box Hill – connecting Victorians to key employment and health precincts across east and south-east Melbourne. 
 
That is why an Albanese Labor Government will invest an initial $2.2 billion in SRL East over the next five years.

This money won’t go to planning, it will go to SRL East construction.   
 
The SRL will create 800 early direct jobs during early works for SRL East, which will commence in 2022 and support many thousands as the project enters major construction. 
 
Anthony Albanese and Dan Andrews know how to get things done. 
 
While the Morrison Government wastes time and money on imaginary carparks, rejected road projects and picking partisan fights, an Albanese Labor Government will partner with the Dan Andrews Labor Government to deliver the investments that Victorians really need.
