维多利亚州政府宣布从价值333亿澳元的郊区铁路环线项目中削减10亿澳元1。此次削减涉及取消Box Hill和Glen Waverley的地下换乘站、Burwood和Cheltenham的人行天桥以及多层停车场等基础设施1。该项目原定于2035年开放1。
这些削减引起交通规划专家和地方议会的批评。RMIT大学城市政策教授Jago Dodson表示，这将增加通勤时间1。根据规划标准，步行超过800米（约10分钟）被认为不方便1。专家和地方议会担忧这些措施将降低项目的可达性，可能阻止民众使用该项目1。政府方面则称此举将节省立即成本1。维州审计长报告显示，被取消的这些换乘站未被纳入原始预算1。
The Victorian government has announced a $1 billion reduction in spending on the Suburban Rail Loop, a $33.3 billion rail project slated to open in 2035 1. The cuts include the cancellation of underground interchange stations at Box Hill and Glen Waverley, pedestrian bridges at Burwood and Cheltenham, and multilevel car parks 1.
Urban policy experts and local councils have criticized the decision, arguing that the removals will increase commute times and reduce accessibility for passengers. According to RMIT University urban policy professor Jago Dodson, the cuts will extend travel times for commuters 1. The elimination of these facilities means some passengers will face walking distances exceeding 800 meters—considered inconvenient at roughly 10 minutes on foot—to access the transit system 1. The government has justified the reductions as a means to save immediate costs, though a Victorian Auditor-General report indicated that the cancelled interchange stations were not included in the original project budget 1.
