We have delivered new hospitals and ambulance stations, while upgrading or expanding many more.
The new Footscray Hospital and the redeveloped Frankston Hospital are open, making it easier for families to get high-quality public healthcare, close to home.
The Victorian Government has delivered 121 new schools since 2017 with 2 more on track to open next year, making sure families in every corner of our state have a great local school.
The Metro Tunnel is open, with 5 new stations making it easier to get around and delivering more train services for growing communities on the Sunbury and Cranbourne/Pakenham lines, enabling more frequent and reliable services across the network.
The West Gate Tunnel is saving drivers time on trips between the western suburbs and the city, while taking trucks off local roads and making streets safer.
This Victorian Government has removed 88 level crossings, with a further 8 set to be removed in 2026 – allowing more trains, more often, meaning less time stuck at the boom gates for drivers.
We’ve added thousands of extra public transport services, while building our own trains, trams and buses right here in Victoria. This Budget delivers $674 million for 25 additional trains, built by local workers in Ballarat.
This productivity-enhancing infrastructure has supported thousands of jobs, and is now making it easier and faster to get around. It’s saving Victorians time and money – which means less time commuting and more time with family and friends. Victorians will continue to benefit from this generational infrastructure investment for decades to come.
This Budget continues to build for the future, with $4.4 billion total estimated investment (TEI) added to the Government’s infrastructure program.
Government infrastructure investment (GII) is projected to be $21.4 billion in 2025-26 before averaging $16.5 billion over the budget and forward estimates. By 2029-30, GII is projected to moderate to $15.3 billion. This reflects the Victorian Government’s commitment to deliver infrastructure at a steady and sustainable rate, freeing up market capacity for private sector investment in sectors like housing.
