1. Are transport bodies and public transport operators (PTOs) prepared to manage disruptions impacting Victoria’s public transport network?
2. Do transport bodies and PTOs effectively respond to disruptions impacting Victoria’s public transport network?
3. Do transport bodies and PTOs learn from disruptions impacting Victoria’s public transport network?

The 10 major projects we reviewed in our 8 case studies are high cost (over $250 million TEI) or have shown significant cost or time changes during their lifecycle.
Covered in this section:
The Victorian Government's spending on major projects has increased each year for the last decade. It is important that Parliament and the community have transparent and meaningful information about project progress so they can hold government and public entities accountable for their projects’ performance.
The 113 major projects we examined are worth $145.5 billion in total. There are 9 new projects, 91 existing projects and 13 completed projects. Three of these projects did not have a confirmed TEI.
