SRL to proceed regardless of who wins next state election – but there's a catch
The Suburban Rail Loop East will be built regardless of the outcome of next year's election, with the Victorian Liberals committing for the first time to continuing the project should they win government and if tunnelling is already underway. The commitment appears to walk back the party's previous pledge to 'pause and review' the controversial project. The Liberals in March urged the government to cancel the controversial project to stop the state going broke, following the release of an Infrastructure Australia report that had low confidence in the project's cost and funding methods. At the time, Opposition Leader Brad Battin said the opposition would halt the project if elected next year, while stopping short of saying the loop would be scrapped. 'Our position is clear: if elected in November 2026, we will pause and reassess the project,' he said in March. 'If the boring machines are underway, then we have to analyse where it is at that stage you can't leave two holes in the middle of the ground with no more work to be done.' It was one of multiple times under three different leaders the party had committed to pausing the project – with John Pesutto making the pledge in January 2024 and then-leader Matthew Guy making the commitment at the 2022 election. But on Tuesday during an ABC Radio forum on the SRL, Guy confirmed there would be no other option but to proceed with the project by November next year. 'If we've got tunnel boring machines which have gone six kilometres underground then we can hardly fill it back in,' he said.
