"OVERALL RECOMMENDATION
Infrastructure Australia Priority List Recommendation:
The project should remain at 'Ready to Proceed' stage. Conditions on Infrastructure Australia's support include that the South Australian Government:
• Continue to undertake project development work to provide further confidence that the project will be completed within scope, and on time and budget;
• Finalise a proposal for the transit orientated development aspects of the project; and
• Develop a proposal for obtaining a material financial contribution to the project from the freight industry and from commercial revenues from the transit orientated development.
• Agree to undertake an agreed post‐completion evaluation of the project:
o Upon completion (e.g. to test whether the project was completed within scope, on time and on budget); and
o At agreed future intervals, to assess whether traffic projections underpinning the project's development were robust, and whether other project benefits have been realised."
