Colossal Rail Project to Transform Melbourne: Suburban Rail Loop Authority Established

Making Melbourne a Global City of the Future

New Statutory Authority to Govern Major Infrastructure Development

In a historic move, the Victorian government has established the Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) to oversee the planning, development, and governance of the transformative Suburban Rail Loop project. This project will create a 90-kilometer rail line encircling Melbourne's middle suburbs, connecting major rail lines and revolutionizing the city's transport system.

Since its inception in 2019, the Suburban Rail Loop project has been a cornerstone of the government's vision for a more livable, productive, and connected Melbourne. The SRLA, established by the Suburban Rail Loop Act 2021, will provide a dedicated governance body to ensure the project's successful implementation.

The Suburban Rail Loop will create significant benefits for Melbourne, including:

• Reduced travel times and increased connectivity
• Job creation and economic growth
• Improved liveability and community development

The project will also support Melbourne's ambition to become a global city of the future by enhancing its infrastructure and attracting businesses and talent from around the world. For more information on this exciting development, visit the Suburban Rail Loop website.
