In reply to  Ms WOOLDRIDGE (Eastern Metropolitan) (29 May 2019)

Mr ANDREWS (Mulgrave—Premier):

The Government’s priority is to deliver the $107 billion worth of capital projects that are currently underway or in development. This is the biggest infrastructure agenda in the state’s history.

The East West Link is not a priority for Government at this time, especially given a lack of labour and resources in the market available for new projects of its scale. By contrast, we have already started work on the North East Link, which Infrastructure Victoria has rated as its number one road priority.

The Government is focusing on the projects that we have underway and on delivering on our promises.
