Revised business case
A revised business case for the Murray Basin Rail Project(opens in a new window) has been completed.
In developing the revised business case, we have considered what work needed to optimise Victoria’s existing freight lines.
The Department of Transport and Rail Projects Victoria(opens in a new window) carried out a series of detailed work, including:
- Site assessments, walking the track to assess line conditions.
- Network modelling to ensure sufficient train paths for the needs of the industry.
- Reviewed the original project drivers and objectives, assessing demand forecasts and investment logic mapping.
- Consultation and feedback from primary producers and freight organisations.
A summary of the revised business case and the executive summary can be downloaded here:
