Melbourne Airport CEO Lorie Argue says there is no reason why there should be any more delays to the $10 billion Melbourne Airport rail link, after the airport dropped its opposition to a more expensive underground station. However, the project still faces at least four more years of delay, with Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan stating her government would prioritise the $125 billion Suburban Rail Loop. Allan announced on Monday that the state government had chosen a consortium called Terra Verde to construct the next phase of the SRL, which involves the construction of 10-kilometre twin tunnels between Glen Waverley and Box Hill.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews will tell a meeting of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry on 23 November that construction of a rail link to Melbourne Airport will begin by 2026. The announcement of the rail link follows a meeting between transport ministers from the Victorian and federal governments on 22 November, with the two governments agreeing to commit $A30 million towards funding a study to determine how best to construct the link.
