We will wait and see. On the process going forward, the Minister mentioned that the drafts of those plans will be submitted by late October and announced in November. Does this mean that his Department might adjust some of the plans that are submitted? Will there have to be business cases submitted for each project?

The reason I ask is that the western rail corridor, for example, is contained in the rail review. An extensive business study has been completed on that and it has been talked about for a very long time. Are more reports or business cases required in advance of funding being allocated for any projects?
