Vic Greens say tolls won't pay for link

THE Victorian Greens say tolls won't pay for the East West Link, leaving taxpayers to cover the costs.

The party was given blanked-out documents about the project, which were obtained via freedom of information, before a mediation hearing at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) on Wednesday.

Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber says the documents suggest the only demand for the toll road is in morning peak hour.

"The whole project is a dud and should be dropped before we end up throwing good money away," Mr Barber said.

Mr Barber said taxpayers would end up paying people to drive.

The Greens want all details of the project to be made public in the VCAT mediation.

Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said the VCAT mediation could have been avoided if the government provided access to all the information about the project.

Treasurer Michael O'Brien said taxpayer contributions towards the link would be limited.

"Victorians are prepared to make a contribution for better infrastructure that cuts their travel time," Mr O'Brien said.

He said the public would be informed about the costs of the project once the contract had been signed by the toll's builder, which is still under tender.

He said tolls would reduce the net cost of the project.
