Capital Program summarises the capital projects the Government will be undertaking in 2015-16. This budget paper includes newly announced capital programs and projects, works already under way and programs or projects expected to finish by 30 June 2015. The information is current as at 24 April 2015. GETTING ON WITH IT The 2015-16 Budget delivers the Government’s commitment to the projects included in Labor’s Financial Statement 2014. The budget fully funds projects ready for implementation and work is under way to deliver the remainder of the Government’s election commitments. Funding is being held in contingency for the full cost of delivering these asset initiatives that are not yet ready for inclusion in the 2015-16 Budget. Investing in transport The Government is investing in a number of high-priority areas that will make a difference to the day-to-day lives of Victorians. More than $17 billion will be invested in road and public transport projects to ease congestion, stimulate the economy, create jobs, and enable people and goods to move in and around Melbourne and Victoria. More than $2 billion will be invested in rolling stock and associated infrastructure including 37 high-capacity metro trains for the Cranbourne-Pakenham rail corridor, new E-Class trams and additional VLocity trains. New high-capacity metro trains will increase the capacity and reliability of the train line while simultaneously freeing up rolling stock to meet growing demand on other lines. In the budget, the Government has committed $5–$6 billion to remove 50 level crossings over eight years that will reduce road congestion, train delays and improve safety. The Government has allocated $9–$11 billion to deliver the Melbourne Metro Rail Project, including over $1.5 billion over the forward estimates,

  • Geelong to Ballarat Railway
    1 Engineers Australia Engineering Heritage Victoria Nomination for Recognition under the Engineering Heritage Australia Heritage Recognition Program for the Goldfields Railways - Geelong to Ballarat Railway January 2012 Goldfields Railway - Geelong to Ballarat Railway Nomination for Engineering Heritage Recognition 2 CAPTION FOR COVER PHOTOGRAPH The magnificent Victorian Era train shed at Geelong Railway Station. This train shed is reminiscent of the train sheds built on British railways during the same era. Only two other railway stations in Victoria had a train shed during this era - that was Ballarat at the other end of the Geelong to Ballarat Railway and St Kilda in suburban Melbourne. Fortunately both train sheds on the Geelong to Ballarat Railway survive and remain with their original function after 150 years. Originally there were 4 tracks between the platforms but the through tracks have now been removed. Note: The term “train shed” has been used here as it is the generic term used for a building which covers and protects platforms and tracks during the era when these structures were built. The terms goods shed, engine shed and carriage shed were used during the same era to describe other buildings at railway stations which contained railway tracks. Goldfields Railway - Geelong to Ballarat Railway Nomination for Engineering Heritage Recognition 3 1 INTRODUCTION The Extent of the Nomination In the preparation of this nomination considerable discussion occurred as to the boundaries of the nomination. The two Goldfield Railways (Melbourne to Bendigo and Geelong to Ballarat) were commenced at the same time and were built to similar design standards. Consideration was given by Engineering Heritage Victoria to making a nomination for the two railways together as there is such synergy in timing, design, construction and purpose of the two projects.
