Government Plans Road Infrastructure Upgrades
Infrastructure Minister Catherine King announced a decision to reallocate funds originally intended for southern parks to the existing rail network. The exact amount of funding and specific projects affected have not yet been detailed. The Australian government has scrapped plans to build a railway connecting Melbourne and Brisbane. The decision follows advice that the project would cost more than $45 billion to complete. The freight corridor will instead operate between Melbourne and Parkes in New South Wales. Construction on the Parkes corridor is expected to be completed by the end of next year. The government cancelled the Melbourne-to-Brisbane railway after receiving advice that costs would exceed $45 billion. The Australian government will redirect $800 million in uncommitted funding from the Australia's Economic Accelerator Program to support science and research measures.
