"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."
