- What is the date of the latest business case for the Maldon to Dombarton
Rail Line?
- In relation to the comments made by the Minister that the rail line 'would
not justify its costs' in the article 'Calls to finish semi-completed Maldon to
Dombarton rail line to ease commuter crush' which appeared on news.com.au on 10
April 2017, were these comments based on the findings of the latest business
case?
- If not, what is the date of the business case the Minister was referring
to?

Answer -
|
I am advised:
- June 2014.
- The comments relate to Infrastructure Australia's evaluation of the
business case released in February 2017 which noted that "the project would
not justify its costs and would impose a net cost on the Australian
economy".
