Despite widespread objections to the multi-billion dollar East-West Link and calls for the money to be spent on public transport instead, the Victorian freight and logistics plan called ‘Victoria – The Freight State’ promotes it as the primary solution to the state’s freight woes, along with increased allowances for heavy trucks. Premier Denis Napthine claimed the government had delivered a solid plan to guide and provide certainty for the freight and logistics sector, which generated $19-$23 billion and thousands of jobs for the state economy each year.
“ “Growing our competitive edge in freight is critical to “This is why the Coalition Government is committed to major infrastructure projects that will improve “We are also committed to the Melbourne Metro Rail Tunnel, which will free up freight capacity in However, Dr Napthine declined to give a commitment as to when this rail project would be buit, preferring instead to talk up the East West Link.
