Jacqui Felgate questions state government over new $1.7bn SRL deal

The global consortium Terra Verde has been awarded a $1.7 billion contract from the State Government to build the northern section of twin tunnels between Glen Waverley and Box Hill.

3AW Drive host Jacqui Felgate has questioned Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Infrastructure Australia on why they haven’t announced any further funding for the project.

She believes the Suburban Rail Loop project has “come at the expense of all other projects” and will impact future generations.

“Why are we continuing to plow on with this when we are still waiting for money from the feds,” Felgate said on 3AW Drive.
