adjusted for yearly inflation, the PBO estimated that SRL East would cost $ 36.5 billion by 2035, but that SRL East and North would together cost $ 81.7 billion to build when the final section opens in 2053, and $ 125 billion when including 30 years of asset expenditure after opening to 2085. The PBO analysis was requested by the State Opposition, and the large headline figure prompted calls in the media for the project to be shelved. Minister Jacinta Allan dismissed the report, saying the Opposition framed the PBO request in order to obtain a large number, including unadjusted asset renewal expenses over fifty years. The PBO found that while the SRL would cost $ 29.214 billion in 2022 dollars, its benefits would be only between $ 17.757 billion and $ 21.133 billion, meaning a cost-benefit ratio of between 0.6 and 0.7 using a 7% discount rate.

total costs of $ 30.7 to $ 50.5 billion, with estimated benefits of $ 48.5 to $ 58.7 billion. The second scenario is faster but higher cost and has the section from Box Hill to Reservoir opening by 2038 and the full SRL North corridor from Box Hill to the Airport opening by 2043. This scenario had capital costs of $ 27.1 to $ 45.1 billion, total costs of $ 35.1 to $ 57.6 billion and benefits of $ 54.7 to $ 65.8 billion. The timing and cost would be further refined through the tender and planning process. This gave the project a cost-benefit ratio range between 1.0 and 1.7.

It argued that SRL East, consequently, would have served 30,000–50,000 daily trips if in operation in 2018, with the qualification that the level of service provided would need to make travel time competitive with car journeys. However, it concluded that the benefits and potential patronage of the North-East and two western sections were more nebulous, as their impact would depend on the efficiency with which the project was leveraged to create new development.
