维多利亚州副州长本·卡罗尔 (Ben Carroll) 表示，由于机场财团提供 70 亿美元的资金，州政府可能会重新考虑墨尔本机场铁路的设计。 Victorian Deputy Premier Ben Carroll indicates that the state government may reconsider Melbourne Airport Rail design due to a $7bn funding offer from airport consortium. 该提案包括一个地铁站和多条快线轨道。 The proposal includes an underground station and express tracks. 该项目最初预计耗资 80 亿至 130 亿美元，自 2020 年以来一直面临推迟，目前的目标是 2033 年。 The project, initially estimated to cost $8-13bn, has faced delays since 2020, and the current target is 2033. 政府倾向于建设高架车站，但如果财团提供全额资助，政府也可以考虑建设地下车站。 The government has preferred an elevated station, but could entertain the underground option if fully funded by the consortium.
