The Morrison Government has committed to the following rail upgrades which will deliver faster, more affordable passenger rail services for Corangamite residents.
GEELONG RAIL DUPLICATION
With upgrades at Waurn Ponds Station already underway, the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds rail upgrade is expected to deliver 1,300 direct and indirect jobs, upgraded platforms and planning for a duplicated rail tunnel to Geelong Station. $605 million is being brought into the forward estimates after the Victorian Government agreed to accelerate planning and construction timelines.
FASTER RAIL BETWEEN MELBOURNE AND GEELONG
In March 2019, Prime Minister Morrison announced a commitment of $2 billion to deliver faster rail services to Melbourne. This is an incredibly important project for regional Victoria and also western Melbourne. We are yet to see any matching funding or a plan from the Victorian Government.
