Unfinished stations and budget issues are plaguing the $14 billion mega-rail project as it battles fresh delays and potential compensation claims.
under central Melbourne reveals delays, potential compensation claims, unresolved issues with cancer treatment equipment in an inner suburb, and plans to dump elements of the mega-project to cut costs.
So long as the new subway is finished by the end of next year, it will not be greatly delayed on its predicted completion date of 2025 – but the leaked report warns new costs and delays may arise.“Further funding may be required to complete the project to the extent that these challenges and risks crystallise time and cost impacts on the project,” the report says..
A spokesman for the council said the city was working closely with the Metro Tunnel project to resolve issues. “It is anticipated that Arden station will take about nine months to be accepted for operations,” the report says.The issues have already cost $128 million in capital works and $36 million in extra operating costs to relocate sensitive scanning equipment from Peter MacCallum, the Royal Women’s Hospital and the Royal Melbourne Hospital to East Melbourne.
Because these viruses are so contagious, the report says the microscope “must be located in the same building as the laboratory”. Port Phillip Council has long requested the tram extension to improve getting around the bayside area.
